Study Notes
Chemical Industries Pipeline and Materials
- Freshwater pipelines in chemical industries are colored sea green.
- Rimmed steel is seldom used for pressure vessel construction compared to other steel types.
Key Mechanical Properties
- The ratio of shear stress to shear strain is known as shear modulus.
- Bulk modulus and modulus of rigidity are alternative stress-strain ratio terms.
Baffle Design and Storage Tanks
- A 25% cut segmental baffle has a height of 75% compared to the internal diameter of the shell.
- Underground fuel storage tanks are used when capacity is less than 45 kilolitres.
Vessel Supports and Shell Design
- Lug support is a type of vessel support but specifics are omitted.
- In thick cylindrical vessels under internal pressure, maximum tensile strength occurs on the outer diameter.
Heat Exchangers
- Minimum shell thickness for carbon steel heat exchangers varies with shell diameter, usually in a specified range of millimeters.
- Tube pitch in shell and tube heat exchangers is a critical design parameter affecting fluid dynamics.
Distillation and Absorption
- Continuous binary distillation assumptions include the choice of specific parameters.
- In bubble cap distillation columns with diameters greater than 1.2 metres, the cap diameter is approximate in centimeters.
- Packed absorption towers are designed for a pressure drop typically around 40-50% of flooding velocity.
Heat Transfer and Design Factors
- Steam side heat transfer coefficients approximately equal a specified kcal/hr.m2.°C value.
- The 'factor of safety' in equipment design is the ratio of maximum load to maximum allowable load.
Flow Dynamics and Packing
- The operating pressure drop in bag filters typically features a specific range in mm water gauge.
- Smaller packings are loaded into columns, while larger packings (> specified mm) are stacked individually for efficiency.
Design Considerations
- Correct design considerations are essential for heat exchanger LMTD correction factors, which should not fall below a certain value.
- The tray arrangement in distillation columns with a diameter up to 4 ft is specific for optimal performance.
Structural Integrity
- Ends of cylindrical vessels may be capped with heads in various shapes geared towards maximum pressure resistance.
- Laminar flow in steel pipes indicates an optimal inside diameter reflecting a specific criterion.
