Abstract:
This project work deals with a detailed study and design procedure of
Boiler. A detailed study of various parts of Boilers like shell, heads, support,
nozzles and its reinforcements, etc. are made and designed separately.
The first part deals with study of Boiler i.e. the types of shells used in
pressure vessel construction, types of heads & their advantages and disadvantages
over each other, nozzles and need for reinforcements and types of stands used
with appropriate diagrams. The advantages and disadvantages of each selected
part is also done.
The second chapter includes the problem definition, nomenclature,
procedure of design which include detailed design of shell based on diameter &
tangential stresses constraints, heads based on hemispherical type, nozzles based
on flow rates & respective reinforcement and support based on skirt type of
selection.
The third and last part deals with the future prospects regarding the
improvisation of design & its analysis and optimization using modern tools like
ANSYS.
