Shell design

The basic relationships for thin cylindrical shells under internal pressure show that the induced 

Equation 4-1 is rigorous only for membrane shells having a negligible thickness. As pressure and shell thickness increase, the stress distribution across the thickness becomes nonuniform, and some correction to the membrane theory is required. For pressures up to 3,000 psi, the membrane theory has been empirically modified to approximate the Lam6 theory. The modified equation as given by the ASME Unfired Pressure Code, Section Vni, Division 1, is 

In equations 4-2 and 4-3 the allowable tensile stress, must be modified by a joint-efficiency, E. The term K in equation 4-3 is simply the ratio dg/di, of outside shell diameter to inside shell diameter. 

Note European codes and ASME Section VIII, Division 2 base the allowable stress, f, on 2/3 yield strength instead of 1/4 the ultimate strength. 

Of all the ASME Code-approved carbon steels produced as plates, SA-212, Grade B has the 

When the thickness of a cylindrical pressure vessel becomes relatively large in comparison to the diameter (t . 5R), the variation of the stresses between the inner surface and outer surface becomes appreciable. At this point the ordinary membrane or average stress formulas are not a satisfactory indicator of the stresses. 

In addition to the simple membrane stress of the cyhnder, the shell is subjected to a radial stress due to the direct apphcation of the pressure against the wall. This is a compressive stress and is insignificant for thin walled pressure vessels when compared to the other principal stresses. But the radial stress becomes more significant as the pressure and thus the thickness is increased. 

In 1833, Lame developed a series of equations to find the greatest principal stresses in order to determine when the elastic limit was reached. Lame proposed that elastic failure is considered to occur when the elastic limit of the material is reached. Beyond this limit, the material is permanently deformed or ruptured. 

Coulomb and Tresca theorized, that the elastic limit was reached only when the shear stress reached it s maximum value. The basis of their theory was based on the actual failure mode of material. Material stretched 

Safety Factors for High Pressure Design. Designs below the creep range, are based on the elastic limit of the material. Historically, pressure vessel design for tensile requirements for continuous service was based on the lesser of

For a more accurate selection of a protective scheme it is essential that the manufacturers provide the probability curves of their shell design for each voltage and rating. 

For tank design per API Standard 650 with weak roof to shell designs (roof lifts up) the venting requirements of API-Std-2000 do not apply for emergency venting to atmosphere or elsewhere.

Module Assembly. After the final cure of epoxy the potted bundle is assembled into a module in which the feed solution and permeate are separated by 0-ring seals in a pressure shell. Design of the module is proprietary. Patent applications have been filed. Prototype modules capable of delivering several hundred gallons a day of permeate are in test in various facilities against brackish and sea water.

Some second-order designs, such as the uniform shell designs (Doehlert [28]), have been proposed which are not based on the central composite design. A more thorough treatment of additional second-order designs can be found in the texts mentioned earlier see Myers [11], Box and Draper [12], Khuri and Cornell [13].

In this year, the French Govt adopted the HE Shell designed by E. Turpin, using as a filler Picric Acid, designated as Melinite. Its construction was essentially the same as modern High Explosive Shell. It is described on p 11 of Ref 12 and illustrated there, but not reproduced here...

Such equipment consists of a cylindrical shell into which the wet material is charged at one end and dry material leaves at the other end. Figure 9.9 shows some examples. Drying is accomplished by contact with hot gases in parallel or countercurrent flow or with heat transfer through heated tubes or double shells. Designs are available in which the tubes rotate with the shell or are fixed in space. 

Since the cost of additional controls, agitators, and pumps can counterbalance the savings in volume, four or five tanks in a battery normally prove to be an optimum number, but a larger number of stages may be economical with a single shell design like Figure... 

The index number refers to the principal quantum number and corresponds to the K shell designation often used for the electron of the normal hydrogen atom. The principal quantum number 2 corresponds to the L shell, 3 to the M shell, and so on. The notation s (also p, cl, f to come later) has been carried over from the early days of atomic spectroscopy and was derived from descriptions of spectroscopic lines as sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, which once were used to identify transitions from particular atomic states. 

The maximum stress is more than 30% below the design stress of 108 MPa, and therefore the shell design is considered acceptable. 

Stack rolls are usually of double shell design, giving internal high velocity liquid circulation at a controlled and uniform temperature. Each roll is equipped with its own individual temperature control system which is built into the take-off unit. The sheet gradually continues to cool as it travels around the rolls becoming sufficiently solidified so that it can continue down the line.

Commercial plants Since 1958,60 Shell-designed plants have been started up or are under construction. Almost seven millions tons of EO equivalents per year (approximately 43% of the total world capacity) are produced in Shell-designed plants. 

Spectra Shield is a product of AlliedSignal that is made by means of a woven fabric of Spectra polyethylene fiber. Figure 4.28 shows a schematic of cross-plied (0°/90°) Spectra fibers in a resin matrix. Helmets, hard armor for vehicles, and soft body armor are shown in Fig. 4.29. The helmet manufacture involves a special version of Spectra Shield, a special shell design, and a three-way adjustable liner of shock absorbing foam padding. These helmets were used by the UN peacekeeping troops from France in 1993 and were introduced to police forces in the US and Europe. A soft body armor of polyethylene fiber consists of five Spectra Shield plies that slide into the pockets in the body armor. 

Liuzhou Chemical Industry Corporation, Siuzhou, Guangxi, PRC — This gasifier uses a Shell design based on coal feedstock and converts 1,200 t/d of coal into 2.1 x 10 NmVd of syngas. The syngas is used to manufacture ammonia-based fertilizer and oxo-alcohols. Some process CO2 is recovered and used to make urea fertilizer.
