However the piping reactions computed by the piping structural analysis are often not available at the vessel design stage. To overcome this problem, the pressure vessel must be exclusively designed for the internal design pressure, after which the permissible external loads for the nozzlevessel intersection as well as for the nozzle-piping connection (flange) can be calculated. In this way the load limits and load capacity of the nozzle can be determined and are available at an early stage to the piping designer (pipe stress analyst). Successively it is the responsibility of the piping designer to ensure that the piping reactions are kept within the permissible load limits of the pressure vessel nozzle. The advantage of this approach is that the imposed loads does not necessitate thickening of the pressureretaining shell of the vessel nor require additional reinforcing pads around the nozzle neck. Moreover it should be noted that by increasing the vessel shell thickness or adding a reinforcing pad, the nozzle becomes more rigid and therefore a better approximation to a fixed point or anchor thus effectively eliminating the advantage of any nozzle flexibility. This approach avoids remedial work of pressure vessels and/or pipework at late stages of a project, which for sure has negative impact on project costs and schedule.","PeriodicalId":350864,"journal":{"name":"Novel Perspectives of Engineering Research Vol. 1","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133084522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this book chapter, the phonons and mode Gruneisen parameters of a flexible framework compound H3[Co(CN)6] is presented in an elaborate manner. H3[Co(CN)6] belongs to a class of flexible framework structured cyanides that exhibit negative thermal expansion along c-axis. In-situ high-pressure Raman spectroscopic studies on H3[Co(CN)6] in a diamond-anvil cell were carried out under hydrostatic pressure from ambient to 11 GPa. From the evolution of Raman spectra, splitting of bands and discontinuous changes in the pressure dependence of band frequencies, a phase transition from trigonal-monoclinic is identified at 2.3 GPa. In contrast to other bands, a lattice band at 140 cm-1 and the Co-CN deformation band at 348 cm-1 were soften with increase in pressure. Mode Gruneisen parameters (yi) were obtained for the ambient trigonal phase using the pressure dependencies of Raman mode frequencies (d(Omega)/dP). Absence of Raman band with flat spectral feature was found as the compound amorphized around 11 GPa.","PeriodicalId":350864,"journal":{"name":"Novel Perspectives of Engineering Research Vol. 1","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130222066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
