Framework and Technical Analysis of Pressure Vessel

Abstract

This project will involve developing pressure vessels for a variety of fluids. Fluids can be kept in pressure vessels at pressures other than atmospheric pressure. They are made to transport fluids under specific pressure and temperature conditions. Gas, oxygen, etc. 100 to 20,000 psi of pressure can be used to store gases. In contrast to ambient pressure, they may store gases at a specific pressure. Therefore, we need pressure vessels for storage purposes. The analysis and development of hydraulic systems are carried out in SOLIDWORKS, and the parameters taken into account when designing the pressure vessel include the minimum design temperatures, the maximal proper safety pressure, the temperature, the safety factors, and the corrosion allowance. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers' (ASME) Pressure Vessel and Furnace Code were used to design these pressure vessels. The study's main goal is to build a pressure vessel in accordance with ASME specifications and perform thermal analysis on the pressure vessel comprised of different kinds of materials by adjusting the shell thickness of the vessel for various ambient temperatures. Finding the ideal thickness that ensures that the pressure vessel is appropriate to utilize in industry requires comparing the results. The worst-case scenario also takes into account the possibility of a crack on the pressure vessel's exterior surface. Fracture mechanics is used to examine the various crack geometries in various types of materials determining the pressure vessel's level of usability and safety.
