Stress Analysis on Pressure Vessel

Abstract

Researches done prior to this study focuses on designing of pressure vessel, theoretical studies on failure modes and catastrophic accidents of pressure vessel. This study intents to analyse stress effect based on ASME VIII Division I, PD 5500, and EN 13445 and design a storage tank using PVElite. This study is done for varying internal design temperature and internal design pressure. It is limited by tank capacity, size, type, shape and orientation of pressure vessel. The external design temperature, external design pressure, head type, joint efficiency, diameter, length, and corrosion allowance are restricted as well. The study is done by selecting type of pressure vessel, code of practices, materials and design parameters before performing analysis using PVElite. A LPG storage tank was designed using PVElite. A total of twelve simulation is done and the results are tabulated. It is seen that American standard is capable of simulating for internal temperature less than external temperature which is not possible than the other two counterparts. Here, the external temperature is set at 250C and the internal temperature varies from 00C -600C with increment of 200C. British and European standard had an error while performing simulation for

Changes of Land Use/Cover and Landscape in Zhalong Wetland as “Red-Crowned Cranes Country”, Heilongjiang Province, China

“…There are total 15 kinds of crane in the world, ZNR has 6 of them. The 1/6 of the total world-wide red-crowned crane population comes to Zhalong Reserve (Zhang et al, 2010;Shoaib et al, 2018;Jegatheesan and Zakaria, 2018). Zhalong Nature Reserve (ZNR) is situated within 46°52′-47°32′ N and 123°47′-124°37′ E, and forms an inland delta at the lower reaches of Wuyuer River.…”

Evaluation of Stresses in a Cylindrical Pressure Vessel with Varying Internal Pressure, Shell Thickness and Shell Diameter

“…PVElite software was used for the analysis. Pressure vessel head thickness required was more than the shell thickness was concluded from the design [1]. The finite element analysis of a fuel carrying pressure vessel was carried out.…”

Finite Element Investigation on the Performance of Pressure Vessel Subjected to Structural Load

“…Pressure vessels are prone to damage during service life due to the environmental conditions they are subjected to, be it the surrounding environment or the corrosive nature of the working fluid. The major reasons that cause failure in pressure vessels are; (i) Unsuitable material selection, defective material; faulty design specifications, (ii) Wrong selection of design process, insufficient testing of designs, (iii) Improper fabrication technique, inadequate quality control standards, unsuitable fabrication processes including welding, heat treatment and forming methods [5]. Chances of fluid pressures exceeding the recommended design pressures may retard the strength of the vessel and lead to catastrophic failure that can cause severe damage to the plant, health hazards, or even damage to life.…”
