Heating Solid Material 1000 (Wi - Wf) + (Wi x T) W x Cp x T lbs Condensate/hr = lbs Condensate/hr = L Lxt Wi = Initial weight of materiallbs/hr W = Weight of material (lbs) Wf = Final weight of materiallbs/hr Cp = Specific heat of the material T = Temperature rise of material (F) T = Temperature rise of material (F) L = Latent heat of the steam (BTU/lb) L = Latent heat of steam (BTU/lb) t = Time in hours
Note: The condensate load to heat the equipment
must be added to the condensate load for Heating Liquids in Steam heating the material. Use same formula. Jacketed Kettles Heating Air with Steam; Pipe coils G x s.g. x Cp x T x 8.3 and Radiation lbs Condensate/hr = A x U x T Lxt lbs Condensate/hr = G = Gallons of liquid to be heated L s.g. = Specific gravity of the liquid A = Area of the heating surface (sq feet) Cp = Specific heat of the liquid U = Heat transfer coefficient T = temperature rise of the liquid (2 for free convection) L = Latent heat of the steam (BTU/lb) T = Steam temp minus the air temp (F) t = Time in hours L = Latent heat of the steam (BTU/lb)
