5.9.4. Calculation of nozzle joined to cylindrical shell

As well in the course of cylindrical shell at strength calculation of branch pipe junction zone, the relative nondimensional forces and moments are used, subject to geometrical parameters [8].

Nondimensional geometrical parameters:

$$ \lambda = \frac{d+2s_1}{D+s+c} \sqrt{\frac{D+s+c}{s-c}}, $$ (5.76)
$$ \eta = \frac{d+2s_1}{s_1-c_s}, $$ (5.77)
$$ \rho = \frac{s-c}{s_1-c_s}. $$ (5.78)

Related nondimensional forces and moments in circumferential ($\theta$) direction:

$n_{\theta F}$-membrane force due to $F_R$
$m_{\theta F}$-bending moment due to $F_R$
$n_{\theta MC}$-membrane force due to $M_C$;
$m_{\theta MC}$-bending moment due to $M_C$
$n_{\theta ML}$-membrane force due to $M_L$;
$m_{\theta ML}$-bending moment due to $M_L$.

Nondimensional forces and moments in axial (a) direction:

$n_{RF}$-membrane force due to $F_R$
$m_{RF}$-bending moment due to $F_R$
$n_{RMC}$-membrane force due to $M_C$;
$m_{RMC}$-bending moment due to $M_C$
$n_{RML}$-membrane force due to $M_L$;
$m_{RML}$-bending moment due to $M_L$.

5.9.4.1. Stress calculation from $F_R$ force

Circumferential membrane stresses of $F_R$ force:

$$ \sigma_{m\theta}(F_R) = n_{\theta F} \frac{F_R}{(s-c)^2}, $$ (5.79)

where $n_{\theta F}$ is assigned as per [9].

As compared to membrane, circumferential bending stresses from $F_R$ force is considerably lower, therefore their values are neglected.

Longitudinal membrane stresses from $F_R$ force:

$$ \sigma_{ma}(F_R) = \frac{F_R}{A}, $$ (5.80)

where $A=\frac{\displaystyle\pi \left((d+2s_1)^2-(d+2c_s)^2\right)}{\displaystyle 4}$ - design cross-sectional area of branch pipe.

Longitudinal bending stresses from $F_R$ force for all design points:

$$ \sigma_{ba}(F_R) = \left(6m_{RF}-3n_{RF}\right) \frac{F_R}{(s_1-c_s)^2}, $$ (5.81)

where $m_{RF}$ and $n_{RF}$ is assigned as per [9].

5.9.4.2. Stress calculation from bending moment in circumferential direction $M_C$

Circumferential membrane stresses from $M_C$ moment:

$$ \sigma_{m\theta}(M_C) = n_{\theta MC} \frac{M_C}{(s-c)^2(d+2s_1)}, $$ (5.82)

where $n_{\theta MC}$ is assigned as per [9].

As compared to membrane, circumferential bending stresses from $M_C$ moment

Longitudinal membrane stresses from $M_C$ moment

$$ \sigma_{ma}(M_C) = \frac{M_C}{W_s}, $$ (5.83)

where $W_s=\frac{\displaystyle\pi\left((d+2s_1)^4-(d+2c_s)^4\right)}{\displaystyle 32(d+2s_1)}$ - design resisting moment of the nozzle cross section bending.

Longitudinal bending stresses from $M_C$ moment:

$$ \sigma_{ba}(M_C) = \left(6m_{RMC}-3n_{RMC}\right) \frac{M_C}{(s_1-c_s)^2(d+2s_1)}, $$ (5.84)

where $m_{RMC}$ and $n_{RMC}$ is assigned as per [9].

5.9.4.3. Stress calculation from bending moment in longitudinal direction $M_L$

Circumferential membrane stresses from $M_L$ moment:

$$ \sigma_{m\theta}(M_L) = n_{\theta ML} \frac{M_L}{(s-c)^2(d+2s_1)}, $$ (5.85)

where $n_{\theta ML}$ is assigned as per [9].

As compared to membrane, circumferential bending stresses from $M_L$ moment is considerably lower, therefore their values are neglected.

Longitudinal membrane stresses from $M_L$ moment:

$$ \sigma_{ma}(M_L) = \frac{M_L}{W_s}. $$ (5.86)

Longitudinal bending stresses from $M_L$ moment:

$$ \sigma_{ba}(M_L) = \left(6m_{RML}-3n_{RML}\right) \frac{M_L}{(s_1-c_s)^2(d+2s_1)}, $$ (5.87)

where $m_{RML}$ and $n_{RML}$ is assigned as per [9].

5.9.4.4. Calculation of stresses from torsional moment $M_t$

Due to the torsional moment shearing stresses are created in the junction between nozzle and shell:

$$ \tau_{\theta x} = \frac{M_T}{2\pi r^2_0 (s_1-c_s)}. $$ (5.88)

5.9.4.5. Calculation of stresses from shear forces $F_C$ and $F_L$

Forces $F_C$ and $F_L$ cause shear membrane stresses in longitudinal (points 1-4) and circumferential (points 5-8) sections correspondingly:

$$ \tau_{x\theta} = \frac{F_C}{\pi r_0 (s_1-c_s)}, $$ (5.89)
$$ \tau_{\theta x} = \frac{F_L}{\pi r_0 (s_1-c_s)}. $$ (5.90)

5.9.4.6. Calculation of stresses from internal pressure

Local membrane stresses from internal pressure are defined subject to a stress intensification factors $I_{\theta(x)p}$.

Circumferential stress from internal pressure in the longitudinal section (points 1-4) can be shown as follows:

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p I_{\theta p} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{2(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.91)

The same stress for cross-section (points 5-8):

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p I_{xp} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{4(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.92)

If design factors $I_{\theta(x)p}<1$, then for calculation of circumferential stresses in the longitudinal section (points 1-4) the following relation is used:

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p \frac{1+I_{\theta p}}{2} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{2(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.93)

For calculation of circumferential stresses in the cross-section section (points 5-8) the following relation is used:

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p \frac{1+I_{xp}}{2} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{4(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.94)

For calculation of longitudinal stresses from internal pressure the following relation is used:

$$ \sigma_{ap} = p \frac{\pi(d+2c_s)^2}{4A}. $$ (5.95)

When $l_2 < 8(s+s_2-c)$, at calculation of stresses and stress intensification factor it is necessary to substitute $s$ for $s+s_2$ (pad thickness is neglected).

5.9.4.7. Stress calculation under arbitrary complex loading

In general, all the external loads applied to the nozzle can be distributed by three directions, i.e. can be shown as simultaneously acting forces $F_R$, $F_C$, $F_L$ and moments $M_C$, $M_L$, $M_t$. After calculation of stresses from effective forces and pressure, total stresses in design points (1-8) are calculated with taking into consideration of signs (table 5.17.

In the presence of corrosive hydrogen sulphide environment, a supplementary calculation of tensile stresses on the shell inside surfaces of the nozzle is made (2, 4, 6, 8 points):

$$ \sigma_{in} = \max{\left\{ \frac{1}{2} \left( \sigma_{\theta}+\sigma_a+\sqrt{(\sigma_{\theta}-\sigma_a)^2+4\tau^2_{\theta a}} \right); 0 \right\}}. $$ (5.96)
