How to calculate Steam Load and Steam Consumption

 Steam Load Calculation 

            In general steam heating is used to

       change a product or fluid temperature

       maintain a product or fluid temperature

                                               

How to calculate Steam Load  and Steam Consumption

                                                 Formula for Steam Consumption in Heating Vessel 


                                                               Q = m c t

       Q =  Quantity of heat or  energy ( unit : kj )

       m =  mass of liquid ( Unit : kg or Litre )

       c= Specific heat ( Unit : kj/kg )

       t = change in temp

 Example : 

     5000 kg water heat from temp 20 to 80 degree at 3 kg steam pressure . Calculate steam consumption . 

       Use formula Q = m c t

        m        = 5000 kg

       C    = 4.19 kj/kg  ( Standard )

       t    = ( 80-20) = 60 degree

        C ( Specific heat) : quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree

        m        = 5000 kg

       C   = 4.19 kj/kg  ( Standard )

       t    = ( 80-20) = 60 degree

       Q = 5000 X 4.19x 60

           = 1257000 kj

        Convert kj to kg

       Divide by Latent heat of steam

        Amount of  heat required to convert 1 kg of liquid to vapour or steam  

        Latent heat of steam at 3 kg is 2163.22

        Q = 5000 X 4.19x 60

           = 1257000 kj

       Latent Heat of Steam = 2163.22  kj/kg

      = 1257000/2163.22



        581.07 kg

What is Formation of steam

 Formation of steam : Changing of state ( liquid to gaseous ) 

How to generate Steam : 

steam that occurs when the liquid and gaseous phases of water exist simultaneously at a given temperature and pressure. In simpler terms, the steam is in equilibrium with the heated water. During the saturated condition, the rate at which water is vaporized is equal to the rate at which it is condensed.

When heat is applied to water, its temperature continues to rise until it reaches its boiling point at that pressure. As further heat is added, the water vaporizes and converts to steam. The steam that exists at the same temperature as the water from which it is formed is known as saturated steam. In other words, saturated steam exists at approximately 100°C (212°F) at atmospheric pressure.

Formation Process Chart :  



                   


Formation Start from point 

  1> A to B 









Point A consider Ice temp approximate -15 degree, when heat added to ice and it temp increase -15 degree to 0 degree at a particular of time  but still Ice not melt because of its freezing point of ICE . Heat apply during this process is  A-B is called sensible heat of ice .

Sensible Heat : when heat apply only temp increasing and decreasing but no changing in face is called sensible of heat .

     2 > B to C


After point B if more  heat apply to ice it start melting  at constant temp. till whole ice melted and convert into water .  This heat is called  latent heat of fusion of ice  .

Latent  Heat : During  heat apply temp remain constant at a particular of time and there is change of face is called Latent Heat .

Heat Apply A to B & B to C  is called total heat of Water .

3> C to D


  Further addition of heat at point C , it increase the temp of water 0  to 100 º C know as the boiling temp of water .  This process C – D is know as sensible  heat of water .

   3> D to E’ and E’ to E  & E to F

                                           


Further heat apply beyond point D , heat utilized for water of vaporization and state changing liquid to vapour without change in temp or constant temp. The amount of heat added during this process is called latent heat of vaporization .  The wet steam contain some water particles in suspended foam , it represented E’ in TH diagram or heat apply beyond the point E’ carries sufficient amount of heat energy to convert all the water in gaseous state  is know as dry saturated steam , it represented point E in TH diagram . Now superheated steam obtained by heating dry saturated steam at constant pressure , it represented by E-F and amount of heat apply during is process is called heat of superheat. 

This is the total process of formation of steam ( Ice to Superheated steam )
