Analysis of steam fluid types
Thread Content
For a pipeline with a capacity of 800 kg/h, DN80 diameter, and saturated steam at 10 barg, the Reynolds number is around 200 or so, which indicates laminar flow； The calculation is correct, right? Considering that this steam is introduced directly into the material in the reactor, is laminar flow better than turbulent flow?
I’m not quite sure what you mean. Is this steam used as a heating medium, or as a reactant? Is it mixed with the materials in the pot? If it’s a heating medium, it doesn’t matter, right? It’s all phase change heat ； If it is used as a reaction raw material and mixed with the materials in the reactor, there is stirring inside the reactor, so the impact isn’t significant!
