Course detail

Design of Equipment for Process Industry

FSI-KSZAcad. year: 2015/2016

The course is concerned with ageing/live time management of process equipment loaded at operational conditions. The content of the ageing/live time system of damage process of materials is explained. Mathematical descriptions of material damage processes as fatigue of materials, creep at elevated temperatures and corrosion are presented. The allowable growth of defects found by non-destructive examination and assessment procedures of material resistance against brittle crack are explained. The creation procedure of the process equipment damage scenario and choice of independent variables and their statistical distribution needed for computation of failure probability and risk of process equipment essential accident are illustrated.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to apply knowledge acquired during the study. They realize the damage process of materials is possible to influence and what operational conditions are needed. They realize that received tools have to be continually developed. They will have overview of the extent and quality of input data for lifetime / ageing management systems.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge from elasticity and strength of structures, mechanics, limit states and theory of materials.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: Active attendance at seminars. The exam has written and oral parts, students have to prove acquired theoretical and practical knowledge.

Course curriculum

Aims

The course objective is for students to acquire theoretical knowledge, to have an idea of technical literature including foreign literature and to be able to apply it to the design of equipment.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Active attendance at lessons and training is checked. The written report has to be done when training was missed. This report has to be produced for verification.
