Experimental Analysis of Cylindrical Pressure Vessel by Using Different Frp Composite Materials

Abstract

A pressure vessel is a holder intended to hold gasses or fluids at a pressure considerably not quite the same as the ambient pressure. The uses of pressure vessel are in wide range, pressure vessels are used as a piece of a collection of employments in both industry and the private section. They appear in these fragments as mechanical pressed air recipients and nearby bubbling water accumulating tanks. Distinctive instances of pressure vessels are diving barrels, recompression chambers, refining towers, pressure reactors, autoclaves, and various diverse vessels in mining operations. The pressure differential is perilous, and deadly accidents have occurred in the authentic background of pressure vessel progression and operation. Pressure vessels can theoretically be any shape, yet shapes made of regions of circles, barrels, and cones are normally used. A commonplace arrangement is a barrel with end tops called heads. Head shapes are routinely either hemispherical or dished. More befuddled shapes have by and large been altogether harder to separate for safe operation and are when in doubt substantially more difficult to create.

This project will present  the development, application and results of this new composite material which shows better performance results than the existing.in this dissertation work ANSYS software is used to carry out the structural analysis of steel and FRP composite pressure vessels. On the basis of analysis it is found that steel pressure vessel has less strength than FRP pressure vessel and it is also concluded that the pressure inside the vessel can be reduced up to 75% by replacing steel with FRP material. For the same geometrical parameters of the steel pressure vessel the stress state of FRP composite pressure vessel is calculated under different interval pressures experimentally. Finally pressure and structural efficiency of composite pressure vessel is compared with steel pressure vessel. In this project pressure vessel is modeled used catia V5 design software and static analysis is carried out by applyingaluminium metal matrix, inconel, s2 glass,saffil and stainless steel in ANSYS 14.5 software.
