`
Nomenclature:

TSteam Steam Temperature 184 °C

L Insulation Type Rockwool

L Insulation Thickness 0.05 m

Lp Pipe length 225.8 m

Tamb Ambient Temperature 30 °C

h Heat Transfer coefficient 14.2 W/m2K

λ Thermal conductivity of steel pipe 54 W/mK

t Start up time 15 min

Cp Specific heat of pipe 0.49 KJ/kg K

W Pipe weight 18 kg/m

D Outer diameter of pipe 0.1 m

H Latent Heat of steam 1999.3 KJ/kg

Sizing Formulae:

Condensate loading during start up:

Qs = Cp * W * Lp * (Ts - Tamb) / H……………………kg

Qs 153.4071 kg

Condensate while operation (radiation losses):

Qr = 0.3768*Lp* (Ts - Tamb) * t / H * (1/λ * ln (D + 2L / D)) + (2 / h * (D+2L)) ……………………kg

196540.7
0.012836
0.704225
Qr 137.0953 kg

Total Condensate Load Q = Qs + Qr


290.50 kg
