Tanks, vessel and pipelines that carry, store
or receive fluids are called 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 outside. The fluid inside
the vessel may undergo a change in state as in case of a
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 case 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 hat to be design carefully to
cope with the operating temperature and pressure.
In this paper, the analysis on pressure vessel with
variation of hole and outside temperature variation is
carried out to find the stresses in pressure vessel. First,
the finite element approach is used to evaluate the
stresses in the closed pressure vessel and with varying
material and outside temperature. Further the finite
element approach is used to evaluate the stresses in the
pressure vessel with holes on circumference and with
varying material and outside temperature
