Steam condensate water
Thread Content
I need help. What I want to know is: for the condensate water of steam at a pressure of 0.6 MPa and a temperature of 170°C, will its temperature be higher when it enters an environment of 1.8 bar compared to 120°C?
According to the laws of water evaporation and condensation, steam at a pressure of 0.6 MPa and a temperature of 170°C releases heat during condensation and turns into water. When this water enters an environment of 1.8 bar, its temperature drops. Specifically, if the ambient temperature is low enough, the temperature of the condensate water from these vapors may be lower than 120°C. However, if the ambient temperature is high, the temperature of the condensed water from the steam may still be above 120°C. Therefore, to determine the actual temperature of the steam condensate, it is also necessary to know the ambient temperature entering it. .
Just check the water-vapor property table and you’ll know.
