3 0  0 3

OBJECTIVES:

• To understand the Mathematical knowledge to design pressure vessels and piping
• To understand the ability to carry of stress analysis in pressure vessels and piping

 

UNIT I             INTRODUCTION                                                                                                            3

Methods for determining stresses – Terminology and Ligament Efficiency – Applications.

 

UNIT II            STRESSES IN PRESSURE VESSELS                                                                        15

Introduction – Stresses in a circular ring, cylinder –Dilation of pressure vessels, Membrane stress Analysis of Vessel – Cylindrical, spherical and, conical heads – Thermal Stresses – Discontinuity stresses in pressure vessels.

 

UNIT III           DESIGN OF VESSELS                                                                                                 15

Design of Tall cylindrical self supporting process columns – Supports for short vertical vessels – Stress concentration at a variable Thickness transition section in a cylindrical vessel, about a circular hole, elliptical openings. Theory of Reinforcement – Pressure Vessel Design.

 

UNIT IV          BUCKLING AND FRACTURE ANALYSIS IN VESSELS                                               8

Buckling phenomenon – Elastic Buckling of circular ring and cylinders under external pressure – collapse of thick walled cylinders or tubes under external pressure – Effect of supports on Elastic Buckling of Cylinders – Buckling under combined External pressure and axial loading.

 

UNIT V           PIPING                                                                                                                           4

Introduction – Flow diagram – piping layout and piping stress Analysis.
