Abstract:
A thin cylindrical pressure vessel has been analyzed for different end connection using analytical and finite element analysis. The
main objective of this paper is to compare stress distribution over pressure vessel for end connection viz. hemispherical and flat
circular. This paper designs the pressure vessel according to the pressure vessel handbook for both hemispherical and flat circular
end pressure vessel so as to determine the most economic and efficient design. The various dimensions of pressure vessel like
internal diameter and thickness of vessel and end connections has been decided using analytical design whose three dimensional
model is prepared in modeling software Pro-Engineer 5.0 and analyzed using FE tool Ansys 12.The analysis has been carried out
for two dimensional axisymmetric analysis, three dimensional horizontal pressure vessel with saddle support and vertical pressure
vessel over stand.

Keywords: Stress, hemispherical end, flat circular end, ANSYS.

I. INTRODUCTION liquids container, containment buildings for nuclear plant and

so on.
Tanks, vessel and pipelines that carry, store or receive fluids
are called as pressure vessel. A pressure vessel is defined as a
container with a pressure differential between inside and
outside. The inside pressure is usually higher than the outside.
The fluid inside the vessel may undergo a change in state as in
the case of steam boiler or may combine with other reagent as
in the case of chemical reactor. Pressure vessel often has a
combination of high pressure together with high temperature
and in some cases flammable fluids or highly radioactive
material. Because of such hazards it is imperative that the
design be such that no leakage can occur. In addition vessel
has to be design carefully to cope with the operating
temperature and pressure. Pressure vessel are used in a
number of industries; for example, the power generation
industry for fossil and nuclear power, the petrochemical

Design study for the stress analysis of pressure vessel involves

the study of longitudinal and circumferential stresses induced
due to fluid pressure. The stresses in pressure vessel will vary
with respect to its design consideration corresponding to its
application. Here the pressure vessel with single opening at
center and along its length has been analyzed for various cases (b) Hemispherical head vessel with three saddle support
