1. Construction Engineering Calculations

// Cylindrical building volume calculator
class CylindricalBuildingCalculator {
  constructor() {
    this.materials = {
      concrete: { pricePerM3: 200, density: 2400 }, // Concrete
      steel: { pricePerKg: 5, density: 7850 },      // Steel
      insulation: { pricePerM2: 50 }                // Insulation
    };
  }

  // Calculate cylindrical building cost
  calculateBuildingCost(radius, height, wallThickness) {
    // Outer cylinder volume
    const outerVolume = Math.PI * radius * radius * height;
    // Inner cylinder volume
    const innerRadius = radius - wallThickness;
    const innerVolume = Math.PI * innerRadius * innerRadius * height;
    // Wall volume
    const wallVolume = outerVolume - innerVolume;
    
    // Material cost calculation
    const concreteCost = wallVolume * this.materials.concrete.pricePerM3;
    const steelWeight = wallVolume * this.materials.steel.density * 0.02; // 2% steel ratio
    const steelCost = steelWeight * this.materials.steel.pricePerKg;
    
    // Outer surface area (needs insulation)
    const outerSurfaceArea = 2 * Math.PI * radius * (radius + height);
    const insulationCost = outerSurfaceArea * this.materials.insulation.pricePerM2;
    
    return {
      wallVolume: wallVolume.toFixed(2),
      concreteCost: concreteCost.toFixed(2),
      steelCost: steelCost.toFixed(2),
      insulationCost: insulationCost.toFixed(2),
      totalCost: (concreteCost + steelCost + insulationCost).toFixed(2)
    };
  }
}

// Usage example
const calculator = new CylindricalBuildingCalculator();
const result = calculator.calculateBuildingCost(10, 30, 0.3); // Radius 10m, height 30m, wall thickness 0.3m
console.log('Building cost analysis:', result);

2. Tank Capacity Calculations

// Cylindrical tank calculator
class CylindricalTankCalculator {
  constructor() {
    this.liquidDensities = {
      water: 1000,    // Water
      oil: 850,       // Oil
      gasoline: 750,  // Gasoline
      diesel: 830     // Diesel
    };
  }

  // Calculate tank capacity and weight
  calculateTankCapacity(radius, height, liquidType = 'water') {
    const volume = Math.PI * radius * radius * height;
    const capacity = volume * 1000; // Convert to liters
    const liquidDensity = this.liquidDensities[liquidType];
    const liquidWeight = volume * liquidDensity; // Liquid weight (kg)
    
    // Tank surface area (for anti-corrosion coating calculation)
    const surfaceArea = 2 * Math.PI * radius * (radius + height);
    
    return {
      volume: volume.toFixed(3),
      capacity: capacity.toFixed(0),
      liquidWeight: liquidWeight.toFixed(0),
      surfaceArea: surfaceArea.toFixed(2),
      liquidType: liquidType
    };
  }

  // Calculate volume by liquid level height
  calculateVolumeByLevel(radius, totalHeight, currentLevel) {
    if (currentLevel <= 0) return 0;
    if (currentLevel >= totalHeight) currentLevel = totalHeight;
    
    const volume = Math.PI * radius * radius * currentLevel;
    return volume.toFixed(3);
  }
}

// Usage example
const tankCalc = new CylindricalTankCalculator();
const tankInfo = tankCalc.calculateTankCapacity(5, 12, 'oil'); // Radius 5m, height 12m, storing oil
console.log('Tank information:', tankInfo);

const currentVolume = tankCalc.calculateVolumeByLevel(5, 12, 8); // Liquid level height 8m
console.log('Current liquid volume:', currentVolume, 'm³');

3. Pipe Flow Calculations

class PipeFlowCalculator {
  // Calculate pipe flow
  calculateFlow(diameter, velocity) {
    const radius = diameter / 2;
    const crossSectionArea = Math.PI * radius * radius;
    const flowRate = crossSectionArea * velocity; // m³/s
    const flowRatePerHour = flowRate * 3600; // m³/h
    const flowRatePerMinute = flowRate * 60; // m³/min
    
    return {
      crossSectionArea: crossSectionArea.toFixed(6),
      flowRate: flowRate.toFixed(6),
      flowRatePerHour: flowRatePerHour.toFixed(3),
      flowRatePerMinute: flowRatePerMinute.toFixed(4)
    };
  }

  // Calculate required diameter based on flow rate
  calculateRequiredDiameter(flowRate, velocity) {
    const crossSectionArea = flowRate / velocity;
    const radius = Math.sqrt(crossSectionArea / Math.PI);
    const diameter = radius * 2;
    
    return {
      requiredDiameter: diameter.toFixed(4),
      crossSectionArea: crossSectionArea.toFixed(6)
    };
  }
}

// Usage example
const pipeCalc = new PipeFlowCalculator();
const flow = pipeCalc.calculateFlow(0.5, 2); // Diameter 0.5m, velocity 2m/s
console.log('Pipe flow:', flow);

const requiredPipe = pipeCalc.calculateRequiredDiameter(1.5, 2); // Flow rate 1.5m³/s, velocity 2m/s
console.log('Required diameter:', requiredPipe);
