Steam System Modeler Calculation Details


Step 1: Determine Inlet Properties
Using the Steam Property Calculator, properties are determined using Inlet Pressure and the selected second parameter (Temperature,
Specific Enthalpy, Specific Entropy, or Quality). The Specific Enthalpy is then multiplied by the Mass Flow to get the Energy Flow:

Pressure = 535.0 psig


Temperature = 243.3 °C
[Steam Property Calculator] => Specific Enthalpy = 452.9 btu/lbm

Inlet Energy Flow = Specific Enthalpy * Mass Flow


[ Inlet Energy Flow = 5,256 = 452.9 btu/lbm * 11.0 klb/hr ]

Step 2: Determine Outlet Energy Flow after Heat Loss

Outlet Energy Flow = Inlet Energy Flow * ( 1 - Heat Loss (%) )


[ Outlet Energy Flow = 4,925 = 5,256 * ( 1 - 0.063 ) ]

Step 3: Determine Outlet Properties


The outlet specific enthalpy is determined from energy and mass flows:

1. Outlet Mass Flow = Inlet Mass Flow


2. Outlet Energy Flow = Outlet Mass Flow * Outlet Specific Enthalpy
3. Outlet Specific Enthalpy = Outlet Energy Flow / Inlet Mass Flow
[ Outlet Specific Enthalpy = 424.3 btu/lbm = 4,925 / 11.0 klb/hr ]

Using the Steam Property Calculator, properties are determined using Pressure and Specific Enthalpy:

Pressure = 535.0 psig


Specific Enthalpy = 424.3 btu/lbm
[Steam Property Calculator] => Temperature = 229.3 °C

Assumptions
Inlet Mass Flow equals Outlet Mass Flow.
Baseline (0 Energy Flow) is set at the triple point for water.
% Heat Loss is relative to the Baseline.
