Design and Analysis of Pressure Vessel

The main purpose of the project is to design a pressure vessel according to ASME standards and do thermal analysis on the pressure vessel made up of different types of materials by varying the shell thickness of the vessel for various ambient temperature. Thus, comparing the results to find the optimum thickness for which the pressure vessel is safe to use in industry. A worst case scenario is also considered for which a crack is present on the external surface of the pressure vessel. Fracture mechanics is used to analyze the different geometry of crack for different kinds of material. Thus, predicting the extent to which the pressure vessel is safe for use.
