Method of determining dimensions of bulkhead closure for cylindrical tank under internal pressure, which results in minimum overall weight; bulkhead, portion of cylindrical adapter of length equal to bulkhead depth, and portion of tank cylindrical section are considered; length of section is such that its contained volume plus bulkhead volume equals volume of hemisphere having radius equal to that of tank cylinder; thus weight comparisons are on basis of constant volume.
