Steam mass flow-rate

PERIOD = 1 is the heating period using a steam mass flow rate of Fs. The mass balance on the steam jacket determines the steam density ps, which together with a steam table function determines the temperature of the jacket Tj. 

You should be able to fill in the gaps and finish the rest of the work in deriving the transfer functions. In this case, we may want to use the steam mass flow rate as the manipulated variable. The transfer function relating its effect on T will be second order, and the characteristic polynomial does not have the clean form in simpler textbook examples. 

By substituting this heat value into the steam side equation, we can solve directly for the steam mass flow rate by... 

A Rankine/Rankine cycle (Fig. 5.16) uses steam as the working fluid with 1 kg/sec mass flow rate through the top Rankine cycle, and Freonl2 as the working fluid in the bottom Rankine cycle. The steam condenser (FIXl) pressure is 20 kPa, the boiler pressure is 3 MPa, and the steam superheater temperature is 400°C. The steam mass flow rate is 1 kg/sec.

Table 9.7 shows the exergy streams (based on 1 kj/s exergy input by fuel), which are calculated by multiplying the exergy values, shown in Table 9.6, by the steam mass flow rate.

Example for the acoustic optimization of a steam injector for a steam-assisted flare at the John Zink Company test facilities in Tulsa. A-weighted sound power level for identical steam pressure and steam mass flow rate. 

The major problem with this simulation is that we do not know the steam mass flow rate in the system. Moreover, the shaft power of a turbine depends on the pressure drop, the steam flowing through the turbine, and the inlet temperature of the steam. Furthermore, part of the LP steam is used in the deaerator, but we do not know which flows. 

The final step consists of calculating the fuel needed to get the steam flow rate in the VHP header. This can be done by an adjust unit operation that simply varies the fuel flow until the mass flow rate of steam in the VHP steam stream is equal to the VHP header steam mass flow rate. 

This means, the vacuum pump must extract 15kgh steam and the 10kgh air from 60 mbar. It can be seen that the quantities of saturation steam are considerable in vacuum. The importance of good cooling of the outlet flow from a condenser is shown by the fact that for the above example a decrease in the outlet temperature from 30 to 25 °C would mean a reduction of the steam mass flow rate to only 7 kgh . ... 

The steam mass flow rate is derived from equation (6.73), i.e.,... 

The humidity ratio behaviour is depicted as figure (3. At the end of the preconditioning phase and before arrival of steam from the bundle and the circuit, this ratio is around SO %. As soon as steam is injected, the humidity varies according to the variations of steam mass flow rate but is maintained withm the range 60-70 %.
