Steam calculation
Thread Content
The company uses hot steam for heating; superheated steam at 280°C and 1 MPa is used to raise the temperature of the solution in the reaction vessel to 140°C. A total of 1213 Mcal/h is required for this process. How can one calculate the amount of steam needed?
1. The specific heat capacity of superheated steam has been checked; when superheated steam is cooled from 280°C to saturated steam (the saturation temperature at 1 Mpa is 180°C), the temperature difference is 100℃； 2. Determine the specific heat capacity of the reaction solution; once the total heat amount is known, the amount of steam required can be calculated.
