I suspect the question is not what they are like, but rather how to go about drawing one.  I would do it this way:

Draw a center LINE that's longer than your expected end result.  Offset it to both sides by half the inside diameter, to get LINEs that will become inside faces of the straight-flange portion.  Draw a CIRCLE with its center on that center Line, using the crown radius.  Draw another CIRCLE with the TTR option, tangent to the crown Circle and one of the straight-flange Lines, using the knuckle radius.  Mirror that to the other side across the center Line.  Some TRIMming will get you down to the crown and knuckle Arcs and the straight-flange Lines extending in only the right direction from the knuckle Arcs.  Use LENGTHEN and its Total-length option to get the straight-flange Lines the right length.  PEDIT the two Lines and three Arcs together with the Join option, OFFSET that outward by the plate thickness, and draw Lines to connect the ends [which you can also PEDIT/Join to the rest].

One would think this type of information could be found online or in a book from your local library.

I have recently finished learning AUTOCAD fundamental course (2015 version).
Will someone guide me in detail?
 
I would like to draw a 2:1 semi elliptical head (usually used in Pressure Vessel manufacturing).
 
Data :
 
Head ID - 2000 mm, Thk - 20mm plate, SF (Straight Flange) - 50 mm, Crown Radius (1800 mm - 0.90 of ID), Knuckel Radius (340 mm - 0.17 of ID).
 
Thanks & regards,
 
Mac
