What is the condensate pressure at the condenser outlet?
Thread Content
Steam at a pressure of 5 kilograms enters the condenser and is condensed into water. What is the pressure of the liquid at the outlet of the condenser at this point? What does 5 kilograms of pressure at the root have to do with it?
This mainly depends on the saturated steam pressure at the condensate temperature and the backpressure of the condensate.
My understanding is that at this point the pressure of the condensate water is roughly equal to the saturated steam pressure at that temperature. I don’t understand the relationship with the backpressure on the condensate water (when the backpressure is higher than the saturated steam pressure, additional pressure is needed, but what does that have to do with the pressure at the outlet of the condenser?) ) And where does all that pressure go? (For example, in the case of complete evacuation, during the period when the pressure drops from the saturated vapor pressure to atmospheric pressure, where does the pressure loss occur? Is it due to pipeline resistance?) ）
