29 Jun 212: Heat Exchanger
Linear static stress analysis of a heat exchanger design. 5 Load cases were considered for each design analysed, with varying loads being applied in each case, including thermal expansion and environmental loads such as wind. These loads were provided by the customer. In total, 9 design iterations were analysed for the heat exchanger. Stress linearisations were reported at a joint between a nozzle and header in the model, and compared against allowables in the relevant ASME Standard.
