ENGI-2089Power Design 1
In this course, students will learn to read, interpret, and create various industrial engineering drawings, as they relate to pressure vessel, boiler, and piping designs. Students will study the classification (ANSI and ASME), manufacturing, properties, and applications of metallic/non-metallic materials, ferrous/non-ferrous metals, and alloys, and learn about the structure, properties, and applications of polymers, plastics, carbon fibres, ceramics, and composites. They will study corrosion processes and analyses, applying metallurgical principles. Fundamental boiler and pressure vessel stress analysis is introduced. Using this knowledge of boiler and pressure vessel design, fabrication, and stress analysis, the students will calculate minimum thicknesses and maximum allowable working pressures of cylindrical pressure-retaining components and heads using ASME Code Section I. As well, the students will learn to determine the proper setpoint, sizing, selection, and installation of boiler safety valves, in accordance with ASME I. Students will study and apply a variety of legislation and codes to industrial situations (Provincial Acts and Regulations, ASME Sections I, IV, IX, CSA B-51, and B-52).
