PTCME353 Design of Pressure Vessels Syllabus:

PTCME353 Design of Pressure Vessels Syllabus – Anna University Part time Regulation 2023

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1 To introduce the Mathematical knowledge to design pressure vessels and piping
2 To learn the ability to carry of stress analysis in pressure vessels and piping
3 To study the design of vessels and theory of reinforcement.
4 To study buckling and fracture analysis in vessels.
5 To learn piping layout and flow diagram.

UNIT – I INTRODUCTION

Methods for determining stresses – Terminology and Ligament Efficiency – Applications

UNIT – II STRESSES IN PRESSURE VESSELS

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

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

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

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