Learn About Steam
The resulting volume of flash steam from the 18.6 kg of boiler water is: (18.6 kg x 16%) x 1.673 m3/kg = 4.98 m3. For comparison, the volume of water, is reduced to: (18.6 kg x 84%) x 0.001 m3/kg = 0.015 6 m3. The very high energy flowrate, and huge change in volume between the upstream and downstream sides of the blowdown valve, mean that ...
