And this was my initial assumption, however, my client has a doctorate and insists that I take into account the differences between saturated and superheated steam. I'll admit im curious to see the differences myself, but otherwise I would be more than happy to make that assumption and move on...
The purpose of the question is to determine the heat loss in an insulated pipe for a distribution network. The system is superheated up to the building walls, then desuperheated and then sent through a heat exchanger for process work. In doing the distribution analysis, i have only a saturated...
Im trying to calculate the difference in heat transfer between a pipe carrying saturated steam and a pipe carrying superheated steam. I know there is a difference in heat transfer due to the properties and because saturated steam has a wetted perimeter, but im at a loss as to the particular...
