Steam Velocity Calculator, Formula, Steam Velocity Calculation

Steam Velocity Calculator:

Enter the values of Steam Volume Flow Rate QV_(ft³_/s) & Flow Area FA_(ft²₎ to determine the value of Steam Velocity Vs_(ft/s).

Steam Velocity Formula:

The Steam Velocity Vs_(ft/s) in feet per second is equal to the Steam Volume Flow Rate QV_(ft³_/s) in feet cube per second is divided by the Flow Area FA_(ft²₎ in feet square.

The Equation of Steam Velocity can be writtern as,

Vs_(ft/s) = QV_(ft³_/s) / FA_(ft²₎

Here,

Vs_(ft/s) = Steam Velocity in feet per second

QV_(ft³_/s) = Steam Volume Flow Rate in feet cube per second

FA_(ft²₎ = Flow Area in feet square

Calculation for Steam Velocity :

1)Determine the Steam Velocity and given for Steam Volume Flow Rate = 60 ft³/s , Flow Area = 10 ft².

Answer

Vs = QV / FA

Vs = 60 / 10

Vs = 6ft/s.

2)Determine the Flow Area and given for Steam Volume Flow Rate = 60 ft³/s , Steam Velocity = 6ft/s.

Answer

Vs = QV / FA

6 = 60 / FA

FA = 10ft².
