    Daltons Law of Partial Pressure

    Uploaded by

    Dev Patel
    The document discusses Dalton's law of partial pressures and its application to steam condensers. It states that according to Dalton's law, the total pressure in a condenser is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of its constituents, in this case steam and air. Various types of steam condensers are classified and described, including jet condensers, surface condensers, downflow condensers, and evaporative condensers. Advantages include low back pressure, high vacuum efficiency, and pure condensate output, while disadvantages include higher costs and cooling water requirements.

    DALTONS LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURE

    • “The total pressure exerted by mixture of


    gases or a mixture of gas and vapors (which
    have no chemical action on each other) is
    equal to the sum of the partial pressures of
    the constituents of the mixture, if it occupies
    the volume of mixture at temperature of
    mixture”.
    DALTONS LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURE
    • The total pressure in the condenser is the sum of the
    partial pressure of steam and air.
    • Pressure of mixture= partial pressure of steam + partial
    pressure of air
    • So according to Daltons law total pressure in the
    condenser is,
    • Pc = Ps + Pa
    • Where , Pc= total pressure in condenser
    • Ps= partial pressure of steam
    • Pa= partial pressure of air.
    Steam condenser
    • A steam condenser is a closed vessel in to which the
    steam is exhausted, and condensed after doing work in
    an engine cylinder or turbine.
    • A steam condenser has the following two object:
    • 1) the primary object is to maintain a low pressure (below
    atmospheric pressure) so as to obtain maximum possible
    energy from steam and thus to secure high efficiency.
    • 2) the secondary object is to supply pure feed water to
    the hot well, from where it is pumped back to boiler.
    Elements of condenser
    Classification of steam condenser
    • The steam condensers may be broadly classified in to the
    following two types, depending upon the way in which the
    steam is condensed.
    • 1) jet condensers or mixing type condensers
    a) Parallel flow jet condenser
    b) Counter flow jet condenser
    c) Barometric or high level jet condenser
    d) Ejector condenser.
    • 2) surface condensers or non mixing type condensers.
    A) Down flow surface condenser
    B) central flow surface condenser
    C) Regenerative surface condenser
    D)evaporative condenser
    counter flow jet condenser
    parallel flow jet condenser
    Barometric or High level jet condenser
    Ejector condenser
    Surface Condenser - Shell and tube
    type condenser
    Down flow surface condenser
    Central flow surface condenser
    Evaporative steam condenser
    Advantages:
    1. Lowers back pr. of turbine
    2. High vacuum efficiency
    3. Gives pure condensate
    4. Saves cost of fresh water
    5. Requires low power input for air extraction pump
    6. Cooling of condensate is easily controlled
    7. Low quality cooling water can be used
    Disadvantages:
    1. Requires skilled workers
    2. Requires large floor space
    3. Large cooling water is req. - indirect cooling
    4. Higher installation cost
