Abstract

The analyses address a nominal 62-inch diameter nozzle in a nominal 124-inch diameter shell with a reinforcement pad. The nozzle is in a channel of a heat exchanger. This results in stiffening of the shell (adjacent to the nozzle) by the tube sheet and the channel head. The results of a WRC 297 analysis, linear elastic analysis, limit load analysis and plastic analysis are compared. The finite element analyses were accomplished utilizing commercial software and typical modeling techniques. As there is significant variance in the results derived with the different methodologies, the authors discuss the comparison of the results.
