Lecture 14 - Pressure Vessel Design¶
Date: 10/6/16
Summary¶
Pressure vessels are used to subject samples to in-situ conditions, to allow processes to happen in a vacuum, and to safely store/transfer energy. In this class we will discuss the safe operation of pressure vessels and how to design a pressure vessel that both withstands the required operating conditions and is not excessively over-engineered and wasteful of material.
Class Plan¶
- Introduce pressure vessels
- Show hazards and safety precautions
- Point to useful resources
Activity/Assignment¶
