1-3-Radial and rotational movements of tank nozzle with a uniform shell thickness
When the tank wall thickness is uniform along the tank height, pressure elongation of tank shell is according to
figure 4. Therefore equations (15) and (16) should be modified based on the shell pressure elongation profile.

For calculation of w and θ, the shell profile should be considered in equations (15) and (16). Figure 5 is used for the
calculation:
