BANYAY, GREGORY ALLEN, M.S., June 2006, Mechanical Engineering EXAMINATION OF POLYMERIC FOAM AS AN ON-BOARD VEHICULAR HPR HYDROGEN STORAGE MEDIA (113 pp.) Director of Thesis: Bhavin V. Mehta One of the major hurdles to be traversed before a Hydrogen Economy becomes practical, and therefore abundant, is the problem of its storage. An ideal HPR pressure vessel exhibits uniformly sized, spherical ...

The burst strength of rotary compressor pressure vessel directly affects the safety. Therefore, it is mandatory to ensure the strength of the pressure vessel. Major factors that determine the burst pressure of pressure vessel are stress concentration around the suction and discharge hole as well as its shape and thickness. In this study, stress concentration of the pressure vessel is investigat...

This paper systematically discusses the significance of pressure vessel inspection, defines main body annual inspection vessel, and puts forward matters needing attention in process according to existing situation, so as provide a certain reference for smooth development vessels.

This paper presents the design analysis of saddle support of a horizontal pressure vessel. Since saddle have the vital role to support the pressure vessel and to maintain its stability, it should be designed in such a way that it can afford the vessel load and internal pressure of the vessel due to liquid contained in the vessel. A model of horizontal pressure vessel and saddle support is creat...
