Core Steam System Topics

Design of Control and Safety Valves: Sizing and dimensions of control valves & equipment in steam and condensate systems.
Flash Steam: Generation of flash steam in steam and condensate systems. Thermodynamic fundamentals, heat loss, energy recovery and more.
Insulation and Heat Loss from Steam and Condensate Pipe Lines: Heat loss from uninsulated and insulated steam and condensate pipes and tanks. Calculate insulation thicknesses.
Sizing of Steam and Condensate Pipes: Dimensions of steam and condensate pipe lines. Calculate pressure losses, recommended velocities, capacities and more.
Thermodynamics: Calculate heat, work, temperature and energy. The thermodynamics of steam and condensate systems. Water and Ice properties.

Air - Humidifying with Steam: Estimate the amount of steam required (lb/h in 100 cfm) in humid air.
Air - Moisture Holding Capacity vs. Temperature: The moisture holding capacity of air increases with temperature.
Air and Steam Mixtures: Air in the steam will lower the surface temperatures in heat exchangers - and less heat will be transferred.
ASME - International Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code: The International Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code safety rules governing design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels.
Boiler Blowdown Rate: Calculate boiler blowdown rate.
Boiler Feed Water - Chemistry and Impurity Limits: ABMA recommended feed water chemistry limits for steam boilers.
Condensate Generated in Cold Steam Pipes: Huge amounts of condensate are generated when cold steam pipes are heated up and must be drained from the pipes.
Condensate Pipe Lines - Friction Resistance: Friction or major resistance in condensate pipe lines.
Condensate Pumping: High temperatures and danger of impeller cavitation is the major challenge for condensate pumping in steam systems.
Flash Steam Generation: When condensate passes steam traps, flash steam is generated.
Heating Systems - Steam and Condensate Loads: Calculating steam and condensate loads in steam heated systems.
Heavy Water - Thermophysical Properties: Thermodynamic properties of heavy water (D2O) like density, melting temperature, boiling temperature, latent heat of fusion, latent heat of evaporation, critical temperature and more.
Ice and Water - Melting Points vs. Pressure: Online calculator, figures and tables with melting points of ice to water at pressures ranging from 0 to 29000 psia (0 to 2000 bara).
Insulated Steam Pipes - Condensate Generated: Heat loss from steam pipes generates condensate which must be drained from the system.
