Calculate the inner diameter of the steam tube between the boiler and the high pressure turbine if the average velocity of the steam(state 1) is 60 m/s.
given is the mass flow rate at 18 kg/s.
specific volume (v) is 0,036793 m^3/kg
velocity (v) given as 60 m/s
how do i calculate this ? ?

The inner diameter of the steam tube is 0.1185 m.

Explanation:

m = mass flow rate

= density of the liquid

V=specific volume =

v = velocity of the liquid

A = area of cross-section

Diameter of the cross-section = d = 2r

Given: m = 18 kg/s, v = 60 m/s,A=?,

Area of the inner cross section =

d = 0.1185 m

The inner diameter of the steam tube is 0.1185 m.
