Paper Title
A study on stress analysis for design of pressure Vessel
Abstract
Pressure vessel is a leak proof vessel which has two important functions viz. (1) it should be failure free container
and (2) it should separate the gas and liquid. Pressure vessels are very often in spherical, cylindrical and cylindrical shells
with hemispherical end shapes. Main part of cylindrical pressure vessel is shell and head. When the pressure vessel is in
operation, it is subjected to different pressures which lead to stress. It is due to internal pressure and different loads because
of self weight and fluid weight. Normally, the stresses will be acted on vessel wall. If vessels could not retain its strength,
wall material exceeds the maximum allowable limit which leads to failure. Therefore, it is important to understood and
quantify (resolve) the stresses. The main objective of this paper is to design the standard cylindrical pressure vessel and
calculate the stresses induced in the various part of the vessel by manually and compare these results with the ANSYS
results.
