Steam Pipe by F.D. Drake, 1988 This component models the steady state operational behavior of steam flow in a long straight pipe (similar to the one proposed in the thesis). It uses basic equations for the determination of heat and pressure loss, and it is possible to determine the outlet steam conditions from given inlet conditions and vice versa. The calculation for heat loss begins with the energy balance for a differential pipe volume. The outlet temperature and the overall loss conductance are calculated. The heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the pipe, the conductances of the pipe, and the insulation have to be specified by the user. The values for the average internal heat transfer coefficient is estimated by the model with the use of the equations for the Nusselt number Nu. The steam properties at mean temperatures and pressures are evaluated with the use of the 'steam' subroutine. The analysis yields the pipe outlet temperature and the heat loss.
