ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 1 [1] is one of the most commonly used pressure vessel codes in the world. The Division 1 rules were originally written before the age of computers; they were intended to be solved by simple hand calculations. This simplification led to rules with a high safety margin and a conservative technical basis. In 2007, ASME published a complet...

Liquefied Petroleum Gases [LPG] are flammable mixtures of gases such as propane and butane mainly which is transported stored in liquid phase storage vessels under amply pressure. These industrial processes high fire explosion hazard. When a vessel carrying LPG damaged, an abrupt drop pressure may release colossal quantities evaporating gas energy that has destructive effect on the itself its s...

Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...

this paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .the vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. the analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. the heat transfer equ...
