Mixing steam flows
Mixing steam flows
(OP)
I have two steam streams which I have to mix together:
Properties of these streams
1: 480 °F, pressure 145 psi
2: 630 °F, pressure 435 psi
I'm not familiar with steam mixing systems/equipment. What is the best way to mix those streams? Could you tell me some sources (books, websites) from where I can get information?
Thank you!

Look for a graph in Perry VI or Perry VII in the section of compressors to estimate the amount of motive HP steam needed to do the job. Use absolute, not gage pressures, in your calculations.
The internet can show you various manufacturers of thermocompressors.
