Reboiler temperature issue
Thread Content
Gentlemen, I’m facing a problem right now: I’m using low-pressure steam as the heating medium, with an inlet temperature of 132 degrees and an outlet temperature of 116 degrees. Is it possible for such a situation to occur? As far as I remember, the temperature does not change after heating with low-pressure steam, because the dew point remains unchanged when the pressure stays constant. Why does this happen?
I wonder what theory underlies your claim that \"the temperature does not change after heating with low-pressure steam, because the dew point also remains unchanged when the pressure is constant\"? If the temperature remains constant and there is no phase change, then how is heat transferred? How is heat conserved? Where does the heat of the heated medium come from?
Is that saturated steam or superheated? What is the status of outlet 116 degrees? Make sure the title is clear
