Calculates cylindrical shell volume using disk/washer integration method. Hollow cylinder between two radii.

Formel

Volume = 2π ∫ x × f(x) dx (shell method)

Steg-för-steg-guide

  1. 1Volume = 2π ∫ x × f(x) dx (shell method)
  2. 2Or Volume = π(R² - r²) × h where R = outer, r = inner, h = height
  3. 3Surface area = 2πRh + 2πrh + 2π(R² - r²)
  4. 4Thickness = R - r

Lösta exempel

Ingång
R=5, r=3, h=10
Resultat
V 502.7

Vanliga misstag att undvika

  • Using total height instead of incremental; integration is key
  • Forgetting both curved and flat surfaces in total surface area

Vanliga frågor

What practical examples are cylindrical shells?

Pipes, tubing, hollow cylinders, insulation layers on pipes.

Why use shell method vs. disk method?

Shell method easier when axis is axis of symmetry; disk method when perpendicular.
