Steam Condensation Formula
The following equation is used to calculate Steam Condensation:
\[ SC = \frac{HR}{LH} \]
Where:
- SC is the steam condensation (lb/hr)
- HR is the heat removed from the system (BTU/hr)
- LH is the latent heat of steam (BTU/lb)
To calculate the steam condensation amount, divide the heat removed from the steam by the latent heat of the steam.
What is Steam Condensation?
Definition:
Steam condensation is the process of water transforming from its gaseous form of steam into its liquid form of water due to a decrease in temperature.
How to Calculate Steam Condensation?
To calculate steam condensation:
- Measure the Heat Removed: Determine the total heat removed by the system in BTU/hr.
- Determine the Latent Heat: Identify the latent heat of steam, typically found in steam tables, expressed in BTU/lb.
- Apply the Formula: Divide the heat removed (HR) by the latent heat (LH) to find the steam condensation rate in lb/hr.
This calculator allows users to easily determine the amount of steam that condenses based on the heat removed from the system and the latent heat of the steam, making it a useful tool in various industrial and engineering applications.
