50km Long Steam Pipe Line
50km Long Steam Pipe Line
(OP)
An idea got passed across my desk. I thought I would put it out there just in case someone may know some thing about long distance steam pipe lines.
I am looking for any information about engineering a steam pipe line from a steam plant to a town 50 km away. I am not sure of the engineering changles one would face or if it is possable taking into account pressure loss, corrosion, etc....
I am interested to know any thing, any papers, any person or group of persons who might know any thing about this.
Thanks

Seriously, while you could do it, I would wonder about the cost to deliver the steam without excessive pressure drop and the heat losses from that long of a line.
Theoretically, it's quite possible. Practical and economical is the question.
