A question regarding the Heater example...
Thread Content
The information for the example is as follows: Saturated steam with a flow rate of 1000 kg/hr, a pressure of 0.11 MPa, and 70% w ethanol and 30% w water is partially condensed in a steam condenser; the vapor/liquid ratio (on a molar basis) of the condensed stream is 1/3. Calculate the heat load of the condenser. The question is: in the .bkp example provided, the pressure setting in the input parameters of the Heater module is set to 0. Why is that? What information can be obtained from the example to conclude that the pressure requirement in the heat exchanger is 0..? I would be very grateful if an expert could provide an answer....
A value of 0 for pressure setting means a pressure drop of 0. It does not represent the actual pressure
