Abstract
The presence of nozzle openings in process vessels gives rise to stress concentration due to localization of stresses around openings. Introduction of second nozzle in vicinity of first nozzle will generate its own stress contours and will interact with stress contours of primary nozzle. To investigate the effect of a secondary nozzle, computational simulation has been carried out. The simulation is validated with established benchmarks. Geometry of vessel and nozzle openings, size of reinforcement and other geometric parameters like centre to centre distance, axial distance, etc. affecting maximum stress have been studied. Result for each case is plotted and discussed in detail.
