Steam Velocity through Piping

on . Posted in Fluid Dynamics

  

Steam Velocity through Piping formula

\( v_s =   Q_s \;  \upsilon \;/\; 3600 \; \pi \;  \left( d\;/\;24 \right)^2   \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( v_s \) = steam velocity  \(ft\;/\;sec\)  \(m\;/\;s\)
\( \pi \) = Pi \(3.141 592 653 ...\)
\( d \) = pipe inside diameter \( in \) \( mm \)
\( \upsilon \)  (Greek symbol upsilon) = specific volume of steam \(ft^3\;/\;lbm\) \(m^3\;/\;kg\)
\( Q_s \) = steam flow rate \(ft^3\;/\;sec\) \(m^3\;/\;s\)
