Design caclulation of fatigue of tubular condenser

The diploma thesis is devoted to the design of the fatigue calculation of the tubular steam condenser with fixed tube sheets, which is in operation as a safety equipment for the steam condenser from the turbine. This device is loaded with temperature and pressure that induces tension. Due to the possibility of frequently starting it up to the operational state and going down to the rest state, stress cycles can occur. The practical part of the thesis is the design calculation, carried out according to ČSN EN 13445–3 standards using the finite element method, abbreviated FEM. The theoretical part of the diploma includes a search of available standards for evaluating the fatigue life of heat exchangers, basic knowledge regarding the issue of fatigue damage and cases of real fatigue damage in practice
