Calculate Steam Flow





Formula

The formula to estimate the Steam Flow (SF) is:

\[ \text{SF} = \text{P} \times \text{T} \times \text{A} \]

What is Steam Flow?

Steam flow refers to the rate at which steam passes through a given area, typically measured in pounds per hour (lb/h). It is an important parameter in the design and operation of boilers, steam turbines, and other equipment where steam is used as a working fluid. Accurate steam flow measurements are crucial for efficiency and safety in thermal power plants and industrial processes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SF} = 150 \times 400 \times 2 = 120,000 \]

The Steam Flow (SF) is 120,000 lb/h.
