Steam Enthalpy Condensation

Heat Transfer Engineering
Thermodynamics

Steam Enthalpy Quality and Volume Fraction of the Condensate can be estimated from:

Eq. 1
x = ( h_LIQ - h_f2 ) / ( h_g2 - h_f2 )

Eq. 2
v_c = xv_g2 / ( v_f2 ( 1 - x ) + xv_g2 )

where

h_LIQ = enthalpy of liquid condensate entering steam trap evaluated at supply pressure for saturated condensate or at saturation pressure corresponding to temperature of subcooled liquid condensate
h_f2 = enthalpy of saturated liquid at return or downstream pressure of trap
h_g2 = enthalpy of saturated vapor at return or downstream pressure of trap
v_f2 = specific volume of saturated liquid at return or downstream pressure of trap
v_g2 = specific volume of saturated vapor at return or downstream pressure of trap
