How to calculate the amount of steam required for 3.82 MPa steam purging?
Thread Content
During the initial commissioning of a coal chemical plant, it is necessary to purge the steam pipelines. If steam from other systems outside the plant is used for this purpose, it is required to calculate the amount of steam needed. The steam pressure for the projects at my company is 3.82 MPa. How should I calculate the amount of steam required for purging? Is a flow rate of 40 m/s appropriate for purging? Is it correct that mass flow rate equals cross-sectional area multiplied by flow velocity multiplied by density? I earnestly request your guidance! Thank you! Thank you!
The pressure is too high. It may have exceeded the design pressure
