For a horizontal vessel with saturated steam as the medium, how should the filling coefficient be entered when performing saddle calculations for SW6?
Thread Content
In SW6, when calculating the saddle of a steam separator for horizontal vessels, it is necessary to enter a filling coefficient: but the problem is as follows: 1. The medium inside the steam separator vessel is saturated steam, and it is well known that only liquefied gases require a filling coefficient to be entered. 2. However, in SW6, if no value is entered for the filling coefficient, it is not possible to perform the verification calculations for the saddle; therefore, a value must be entered. I sincerely ask: Is this a programming error in SW6? How should this filling factor be filled in? I’m asking for help from all fellow sailors! !
Fill in 1; this indicates the degree of filling of the operating medium in the container under operational conditions. This one is steam, so it’s naturally completely filled, hence fill in 1.
Thank you very much for your reply! ! But why is the maximum value specified as 0.95 in the fixed capacity specification?
Section 3.1.13 of the Fixed Volume Specification states that the coefficient for \"liquefied gases\" shall not be greater than 0.95
