# Industrial Specification: Carbonation Vessel

## 1. Technical Definition
A pressure vessel designed to dissolve carbon dioxide gas into liquids under controlled conditions.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.0-6.0 bar at 4-10°C**. Failure boundary: **8.5 bar internal pressure at 15°C**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of ASME SA-240 316L stainless steel (205 MPa at 15°C) causing plastic deformation**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
