Steam Velocity through Piping
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 | \(ft^3\;/\;sec\) | \(m^3\;/\;s\) |
