Calculate temperature drop in steel pipe of district heating system (where water is a heat carrier) that is a result of heat loss through pipe wall and insulation.
Usage
dropt(
temperature = 130,
pressure = mpa_kgf(6),
flow_rate = 250,
loss_power = 7000
)Arguments
- temperature
temperature of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe measured at the inlet of pipe, [°C]. Type:
assert_double.- pressure
absolute pressure of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe, [MPa]. Type:
assert_double.- flow_rate
amount of heat carrier (water) that is transferred by pipe during a period, [ton/h]. Type:
assert_double.- loss_power
power of heat loss - heat loss through area of pipe wall per hour, [kcal/h]. Type:
assert_double.
Value
Temperature drop at the outlet of pipe, [°C].
Type: assert_double.
Details
Specific isobaric heat capacity used in calculations is calculated according to IAPWS R7-97(2012) for Region 1 since it is assumed that state of water in district heating system is always in that region.
