Objective 04: Dryness Fraction Calculation based on Calorimeter Data

Question 1

How are Throttling Calorimeters used to calculate the Dryness Fraction of wet steam?

Answer 1

Based on the throttled, superheated steam leaving the calorimeter having the same enthalpy as the wet steam entering the calorimeter, the dryness fraction of the wet steam can be calculated by manipulation of the enthalpy equation for wet steam
