    The document presents an optimal design model for vertical pressure vessels supported by cylindrical or conical skirts. The model optimizes the thicknesses, lengths, and bottom diameter as design variables to minimize weight while meeting stress and deflection constraints. A computer program was developed combining vessel design procedures with optimization techniques, and applied successfully to design example pressure vessels.

    OPTIMAL DESIGN OF VERTICAL PRESSURE VESSELSWITH SUPPORTING CYLINDRICAL OR CONICAL SKIRT

    The optimal design of vertical pressure vessels supported by skirts is presented. The optimization model assumes two stages of different diameters connected through a conical reducer and it has a supporting skirt which can be cylindrical or conical. The design variables are the thicknesses and lengths of individual shell tiers and the bottom diameter of the supporting skirt. The objective function is the weight of the shell tiers. The constraints are the allowable stresses and deflection of the vessel. A computer program has been developed which combines simplified pressure vessel design procedures with the techniques of nonlinear mathematical programming to solve the optimal design problem. The program is applied to the design of several pressure vessels.
