This document discusses the design, analysis, and optimization of body flanges and cover flanges for steam condensers used in thermal power plants using finite element analysis. The researchers modeled flanges based on ASME code dimensions and analyzed stress levels, validating results against analytical calculations. Additional stiffeners were added through optimization, reducing flange thicknesses from 102mm to 90mm for the body flange and 60mm to 48mm for the cover flange while maintaining stress below allowable limits. Finite element analysis was found to overcome limitations of analytical methods and determine optimal flange dimensions within safety factors.
