  • Determining steam quality
    Patent number: 4149403
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the quality of wet steam flowing in a steam line utilizing the relationship between critical flow pressure (P.sub.c) and upstream pressure (P.sub.u) to develop a critical pressure ratio P.sub.c /P.sub.u to obtain the steam water mixture inlet enthalpy (H) from empirical curves and the steam quality from the equation:Steam Quality=[(H-h.sub.w)/(h.sub.s -h.sub.w)]P.sub.uwhereH.sub.w =specific enthalphy of water, andH.sub.s =specific enthalpy of steam bath both at P.sub.u.
