Hi,

I am working on a study to determine the peak pressure and temperature as a result of a steam discharge (T= 300C, 500 kg/hr)into a CO2 low pressure circuit with the compressors operating at P=11 psig and Q=5 L/s.

I am thinking about using saturated steam (P =1 atm T=100C) for the modelling as the software that I am using doesn't have CO2. Secondly, the discharge steam will purge the CO2 very quickly.

For the steady-state, I was thinking that using the sat. steam and to adjust the pressure drop of the circuit to match the operating flow for CO2.

I was wondering if anyone can give some pointers if these assumptions are feasible?
