I am calculating for the heat loss in valves. Is it possible to use the "equivalent lenght" of a valve used in pressure drop calculations to compute for the total heat loss?
Heat loss in un-insulated valve:
Fluid = Steam
Temp = 340F
Pipe Size = 24"
Valve Size = 24"
Pipe and Valve material =...
I have a 10" Rupture disc with relief valve set at 180psig installed to protect my pipe. What is the total relief capacity (gpm) would this provide? Assuming the fluid is water flowing at 140F. This is vented out into the atmosphere. What equation should I use to determine the capacity?
