About this document
Understanding Dryness Fraction of Steam by Shalini Manchikatla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are several types of steam calorimeters that can be used to determine the dryness fraction of wet steam: 1) Separating calorimeter, which separates the liquid and vapor phases to directly measure the mass of each. 2) Throttling calorimeter, which uses the heat balance of throttling to an indirect measurement. 3) Combined separating and throttling calorimeter, which uses both methods in series to improve accuracy, with the overall dryness fraction equal to the product of the measurements from each.
