The storage of energy is something convenient and even necessary in various industrial sectors. Energy can be stored in the form of electrical, mechanical or thermal energy. For this purpose, among others, devices such as batteries, flywheels or substances in a different phase than the one at ambient temperature are used. Regarding the last case, […]

First of all, it should be considered that transport and erection operations of pressure vessels could be focused from two different points of view, which are intrinsically related. On the one hand, the pressure vessel must not be damaged under no circumstances, since the moment the equipment leaves the manufacturer’s workshop until it is installed […]

Firstly, it is necessary to mention that in appearance purely theoretical aspects of corrosion (e.g. potential difference between anode and cathode, need for a complete electrical circuit, electrodes area, etc.) are of high importance in practice due to the professional involved will have an idea about what methods to take into account in order to […]

It can be said that corrosion affecting materials is a harmful effect that appears in the different sectors of the industry. Therefore, it is convenient to know this phenomenon in order to avoid it as much as possible. Firstly, we should use a classic definition about corrosion in which it is established as the degradation […]

Conical transitions are really usual in several industrial sectors so that people minimally related to design or manufacturing of pressure vessels are used to deal with them. The shape or these conical sections is mainly imposed by the process in which vessel is immersed. In order to satisfy properly the process needs, the conical part […]

It is well-known the existing problem derived from generation of electricity, its related environmental impact and sustainability of different technologies. The demand for electric power is continuously increasing due to several demographic subjects such as, for instance, the increase of world population, the rising industrialization or the incorporation into the consumer market by developing countries. […]
