The solution is:
Enthalpy of steam * flow * 2.7E-7 = Energy in MWh
The enthalpy of steam is calculated by our DCS using a function block with inputs: pressure and temperature.
This allows the use of the temp, pressure and flow to calculate the energy in a steam process stream.
Hi All,
I have been tasked to specify a function block for our control system that uses the pressure (bar a), temperature (degC) and flow (kg s-1) to obtain a Megawatt-hours (energy) value for steam exported. I have had a look at various research papers and cant find a straight cut answer. Any...
