Abstract

A pressure vessel is a container in which fluid at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure is stored. A pressure vessel was maybe fixed or movable. A pressure vessel consists of a vessel or shell where the fluid is stored, a manhole or opening, and lifting support for the manhole, support, and nozzles. Pressure vessel finds its use in many industries such as thermal and nuclear power plant, Oil and gas industries, food industries, etc. The design of pressure vessels is very important as the failure of it may have many devastating consequences. The design parameters of a pressure vessel include the temperature of the fluid inside, the ambient temperature of vessel surroundings, the average load acting on the vessel, corrosion allowance, material selection, etc. A pressure vessel may be stationary or movable, horizontal or vertical. So, the design parameters vary according to the type and application of the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel must be designed according to the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). The pressure vessel is designed using CATIA V5R21 and analysis is carried out using ANSYS 18.1. Generally, carbon steel is used for the construction of vessels. Titanium is used when the corrosion is highest.
