Process Equipment Design-I (CM-603 (A))

VI-Semester

Unit I

Mechanics of materials- Stress- Strain relationships of elastic materials subjected to tensile, compressive and shear forces, Elastic and plastic deformation, General design considerations; Design of shell, bottom plates, self supported, and column supported roofs, wind girder, nozzles and other accessories.

Unit II

Unfired pressure vessel- Pressure vessel codes, classification of pressure vessels, Design of cylindrical and spherical shells under internal and external pressures; Selection and design of flat plate, tor-spherical, ellipsoidal, and conical closures, compensations of openings. High pressure Vessels: Stress analysis of thick walled cylindrical shell, Design of monobloc and multiplayer vessels.

Unit III

Tall vertical & horizontal vessels-Pressure, dead weight, wind, earthquake and eccentric loads and induced stresses; combined stresses, Shell design of skirt supported vessels. Vessel supports; Design of skirt, lug, and saddle supports.

Unit IV

Bolted Flanges- Types of Flanges, and selection, Gaskets, Design of non- standard flanges, specifications of standard flanges. Fabrication of Equipment; major fabrication steps; welding, non-destructive tests of welded joints, inspection and testing, vessel lining, materials used in fabrication of some selected chemical industries.

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to acquire basic understanding of design parameter, complete knowledge of design procedures for commonly used process equipment and their attachments (e.g. internal and external pressure vessels, tall vessels, high pressure vessels, supports etc.), and different types of equipment testing methods.
