<P>Simple solution to a complex engineering problem- fill the tank with propane and go camping !!!!!<BR>Then you can work out the dimensions of the pan to use to fry eggs and bacon, and and solve the capacity problem of which size container you should use for the orange juice. </P>
<P>Then, we could say that it can all be worked out in a formula thus:</P>
<P>Eggs+bacon+pancakes+butter+syrup+orange juice +coffee +equals breakfast . If you take this a sqaure it or round it out it makes no difference what shape of pan you use- I'm hungry!</P>

<DIV></DIV>Because nothing mathematical is ever created by mere humans, only discovered,
<DIV></DIV>I believe Mathematics to be the language of God. And as such, there is a
<DIV></DIV>unique function which describes your shell. All you have to do is find that
<DIV></DIV>function and apply a triple integration to it. Simple, isn't it? Sure! You
<DIV></DIV>can APPROXIMATE it by considering the form to be that of a cylinder capped by
<DIV></DIV>two appropriate sections of a sphere. Using that approach assumes that the
<DIV></DIV>end caps were accurately formed into spherical sections to begin with and it
<DIV></DIV>ignores the radiused corners where the caps join the cylinder. So, you
<DIV></DIV>venture farther into the realm of assumption and approximation. I would
<DIV></DIV>rather take the advice of a wise man and measure how much water it holds.
<DIV></DIV>Probably, the next topic should be how to desiccate a wet LP tank.
