OPTIMIZATION OF THICKNESS AND ANALYSIS OF WAX MELTING TANK

Mechanical Engineering

Wax melting is the most important process in industry in order to prepare a final product. While preparing that product it is necessary that to melt a wax in proper amount as well as the required condition. During melting of wax or pulp because of high temperature more amount of thermal stresses are developed and when that thermal stresses are exceeds certain limits then the welding section get weeak and because of that there will be leakages problem at joint so that loss of thermal energy through joints. But if we design the tank for wax melting and at the same time if we reduce the thickness of tank then from the design calculation it is clear that all the calculation come below the selected thickness. ( <5mm). so there will be chance to optimize the thickness of tank. After that we design the tank in catia and do all the structural analysis and thermal analysis of the tank. Also from the design and analysis it is clear that it is clear that the selected wall thickness of 5mm will be on safe side so there will be a optimization of thickness.
