Tower calculation
Thread Content
I would like to ask how to perform strength calculations for a tower with a shell-and-tube heat exchanger connected to its top
I don’t understand design. I think that simple strength calculations can treat the heat exchanger as a static load; if it’s more complex, then it would be a dynamic load, haha. What a pleasant weekend
The heat exchanger is analyzed with respect to the tower under eccentric loading, while the connection between the heat exchanger and the tower is evaluated based on local stresses
If the top part can have its weight calculated based on the internal additives, then the calculation will be done with reference to the center of gravity.
It depends on whether it is a horizontal heat exchanger or a vertical heat exchanger at the top; the situation varies
I’ve seen a similar example of pvelite before; I can’t remember the details exactly
