    Assumptions :

    Most of the flow patterns for steam condensate headers fall within the annular or
    1 . dispersed region on the baker map. Flow pattern falls in slug flow region.
    2 . Flashed steam is less than 30% by weight.
    Vapour-Liquid mixture throughout the condensate line is represented by mixture
    3.
    condition near the end of the Line.

    Method :

    1 . Amount of condensate flashed is calculated.


    Further to above the density of the mixture (Condensate + Flashed steam ) is
    2 . found out.
    3 . Using two pressure drop co-relations, Pressure per 100 ft is calculated.
    4 . If the velocity is lower than 5000 foot/min, the specified line size is said to be
    adequate.
