Steam Pressure Loss through Piping
Steam Pressure Loss through Piping formula |
||
| \( p_l = \mu \; l \; v_s{^2} \;/\; 24 \; d \; g \; \upsilon \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( p_l \) = steam pressure loss | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( \mu \) (Greek symbol mu) = friction coefficient of steam | \(dimensionless\) | |
| \( l \) = length of pipe | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
| \( v_s \) = steam velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
| \( d \) = pipe inside diameter | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
| \( g \) = gravitational acceleration | \(ft\;/\;sec^2\) | \(m\;/\;s^2\) |
| \( \upsilon \) (Greek symbol upsilon) = specific volume of steam | \(ft^3\;/\;lbm\) | \(m^3\;/\;kg\) |
