Background Pressure vessels subjected to improper or non-uniform post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may experience permanent geometric distortions. These distortions commonly manifest as weld misalignment, ovality, or […]
Background Local Thin Area Fitness-For-Service Assessment, Localized thinning of pressure vessel shells is a common integrity concern, particularly in aging equipment exposed to corrosive process environments. […]
Background HIC Fitness-For-Service Assessment, A high-pressure separator vessel constructed in 1980 in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 2 was subjected to detailed inspection following concerns […]
Background General metal loss caused by long-term corrosion is one of the most common degradation mechanisms in carbon steel piping systems operating in refinery and petrochemical […]
Background Brittle Fracture Assessment of a Vertical Pressure Vessel. Older pressure vessels constructed before mandatory impact testing requirements often present an increased risk of brittle fracture, […]
Introduction Solenoid valves are critical components in modern Thermal Management Systems (TMS), responsible for precise control of airflow and pressure regulation. Their efficient operation directly affects […]
Introduction: The objective of this case study was to conduct a comprehensive 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a Wedge Plug Valve under Fully Open […]
Introduction A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation was conducted to investigate the vibrational issue in multiple evaporator and super heater modules of a tail gas-fired boiler. […]
Introduction The CFD analysis of a Gas-Gas heater was undertaken to gain insights into the velocity distribution inside the Air Preheater (APH) module. The primary objectives […]
