Dearator Calculations Book1 Rev1

The document presents a flow diagram and calculations for a steam loop system. Steam at 41 kg/cm2a and 334°C enters from a utility plant. It can supply steam to two plants (A and B). The diagram and initial calculations are incorrect as they mix condensate at a higher pressure than steam. The properties used for the condensate are also wrong. Correct calculations are needed using condensate properties at 18 kg/cm2a and saturated conditions. Tables of thermodynamic properties for water are also provided for reference.

Energy balance for steam loop:

Enthalpy of condensate + Enthalpy of Steam from U


Steam to Plant A

4500*460 + 3052*x = 2847*4500 +2847*10000


Solving gives, x=12847 kg/hr

Steam from Utility = 12847kg/hr


Mass balance for steam loop:

Mass of condensate + Mass of Steam from Utility =

4500 + x = 4500 +10000


Solving gives, x=10000 kg/hr

Mass of condensate + Mass of Steam from Utility =

4500 + x = 4500 +10000


Solving gives, x=10000 kg/hr

Steam from Utility = 10000 kg/hr

kg/cm2a =
