Abstract
The pressure vessels are used to hold gases or liquids at high pressures. The current studies of pressure vessels indicate that there are some cases of cracked or damaged vessels that can cause rupture or leakage failures which can result in fatal accidents in industry. Since the leaking vessel can cause potential health and safety hazards, the proper design of pressure vessels in agreement with the safety codes and standards is important to human safety and health. This paper focuses on design and development of the pressure vessel using computer aided modeling, computational simulation, and prototype testing to determine the parameters including maximum safe operating pressure, total material deformation, wind velocity streamlines, and wind pressure distribution to assist the pressure vessel design.
