Description
Summary:In this article, we first studied the behaviour of concrete and steel subjected to high temperatures in order to carefully select the characteristics and components of the construction material for storage tanks. To determine the temperature distribution within the storage tanks, we solved the differential equations of conduction using the finite difference method to obtain the temperature value at each point of the studied storage tank. Next, we conducted numerical simulations that allowed us to represent the temperature field distribution on the surfaces of the cylindrical tank and the variation of temperature over time. Based on this study, we were able to determine the sensitivity of Thickness the material selection and the shape of storage tanks in calculating the temperature gradient.
