Abstract A pressure vessel is defined as a container with a pressure differential between inner and outer surface. The inside pressure is usually higher than the outside, except for some isolated situations. Pressure vessels often have a combination of high pressures together with high temperatures both internally and externally. Any leak under operating pressures may lead to failure of the vessel which causes extensive physical injury and property damage. Because of such hazards it is imperative that the design be such that no leakage can occur. In addition these vessels have to be designed carefully to cope with the operating temperature and pressure. This project set out to design and analyzes a custom made pressure vessel for the required application. Explore applicable methods using finite element analysis in pressure vessel analysis. Having tested three ax symmetric models, the preliminary conclusion is that finite element analysis is an extremely powerful tool when employed correctly. Problems such as local stress risers, unrealistic displacements and understanding how to use such data become extremely important in this kind of analysis. The difficulty in analysis of stress and strain in structural engineering depends on the structure involved. As the structure grows in complexity, so does the analysis. However, these Calculations often provide solutions only for the maximum stress and strain at certain points in the structure. This highlights the key to proper use of finite element analysis. Process starts with performing basic calculations of pressure vessel by using ASME Pressure Vessel code and BIS Unfired pressure vessel code. Once we obtain results from basic calculation we develop software for iteration of vessel parameters. This gives a fine refinement and accurate parameters that require to design a pressure vessel. Later these parameters are developed to 3D modeling in Solid Works 2013, followed by analysis of stress and deflection by ANSYS WORKBENCH 13.0. The dissertation deals with design and analysis of Pressure Vessel with Integral Type Flange. Keywords: ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Modeling of Pressure Vessel.

INTRODUCTION

Test article (Cruise Missile) experiences various loads such as aerodynamics, inertial, launch and handling load during its development process. The structural load experienced by test article during above mentioned may be summarized into axial loads, bending moment, external pressure etc. Test articles experience axial loads experiences axial loads due to inertial effect of sections ahead of individual sections. Test article experiences bending moment due to maneuvering, handling and combined effect of when gas generator is fired. Test article aerodynamic and inertial during flight. The present work is confined to design and analysis of pressure vessel by applying calculated loads. Each and every section of pressure vessel is designed to withstand their critical load conditions. The design of each component is to be proved by simulating the respective critical conditions II. METHODOLOGY Designing and modeling of Pressure Vessel Design Specifications The Pressure Vessel is an assembly of standard shell, dome and bolted flange. The reason for having three parts rather than single chamber is to replace the damaged part in case of accident. As it if is a whole assembly, when an accident occurs the whole equipment should be scrapped. This leads to increase in high product cost. The design of standard chamber with spherical end dome, Shell and bolted flange are carried out using Unfired Pressure Vessel Code (BIS) and ASME pressure vessel code, SectionVIII, Part-II. The design is carried out for the following design specifications.

IV. CONCLUSIONS Design and analysis of the Pressure Vessel of working pressure 10bar has been executed. The Pressure Vessel material is IS2062. The effect of internal pressure on the walls and bolts on the flange are studied.  The design of a pressure vessel is more in to selection procedure, selection of parameters of the pressure vessel to be more accurately calculated with possible number of Iterations.  It is known that all the pressure vessel components are designed on basis of ASME standards Section 8B and BIS (Code for Unfired Pressure Vessels). So this helps the designer to have an error free selection while making a design.  The designed pressure vessel is safe for operating at 10 bar internal pressure; the maximum deformation is 0.15 mm, which is under permissible limits of 10mm wall thickness pressure vessel. Hence the Design is safe.  Equivalent stress is 7.83kgf/mm2 which is well below the Nominal Design Stress (8 kgf/mm2) considered for designing. Hence the design is safe.
