6) Design a tall vessel for the following conditions

Inside diameter = 2.5m, Outside diameter including insulation 2.8m, Height of the vessel = 30m,
Distance from base to bottom shell joint =1.6m, Internal pressure = 25Kg/cm2, wind load = 0.1kg/
cm2, Allowable stress of the material = 250MPa. Vessel has a platform 2m below the top and a ladder
starting from platform to the shelf bottom joint. The vessel is fully radiographed.(9)
