Heat Transferred by Condensing Steam

Sponsored Links

The quantity of heat transferred when a specific amount of steam condensates can be expressed as

Q = M_s h_e         (1)

where

Q = quantity of heat (kJ)

M_s = mass of condensing steam (kg)

h_e = specific enthalpy of evaporation of steam (kJ/kg)

The heat transferred in a condensing steam flow can be expressed as

q = m_s h_e         (2)

where

q = heat transfer (kW)

m_s = steam flow rate (kg/s)
