I have looked almost everywhere in order to find recommended erosion velocities for wet i.e. 80% quality steam and have not found much data. What I have found (in Crane and other text books) is that one must design pipes for less than the 100% (saturated) velocities. But Crane and others do...
I am looking at generating steam by using heat exchangers to utilize excess heat from the process. This 2 phase mixture then goes to a separator to produce high pressure steam (about 900 psig).
There is also a pump around which takes any liquid hold-up and pumps the by now hot water through...
I am evaluating a stabilizer design that has a direct fired heater (reboiler) with pump. This design combines takes the condensate off of the bottom and some of the condensate goes to a pipeline, but the rest is fed through the reboiler and combined with the liquid from the last tray!
There is...
