I'm not after good accurracy. 20% will be okay.
This superheated pipe feeds a power steam turbine. I already know the pressure drop from plant instrumentation. I want to know what the pressure drop would be if the pipe was a bigger diameter, then I can carry out a feasibility study of bigger...
I'm searching for a useful formula to calculate pressure drops in pipes with superheated steam. I've tried using the original Babcock formula, but this doesn't seem to work for high pressure superheat steam. The pipe in question is DN150, 90 metres (with numerous elbows and valves) and the steam...
