Thermal expansion calculation for Nozzle on a cylinder vessel
Thermal expansion calculation for Nozzle on a cylinder vessel
(OP)
I am working on a thermal expansion estimate of the nozzles on a cylinder vessel for the purpose of piping stress analysis.
Could you please give me some advice or referecne materials to calculate the thermal movement of the nozzles on a vessel.
I appreciate your help greatly!

For a free-expanding body then the expansion center is its center of gravity (assuming even material property), hollow or solid no difference.
Related to this topic, I remember a very interesting question people like to ask: if you have a doughnut-shaped piece and heat it up, does the inner hole get larger or smaller? Now you know the answer.

I thought the aixal expansion of a hollow vessel is free but the raidal expansion of a hollow vessel is limited by itself. It seems I am wrong.
