Dear Experts

 

I have fundamental Chemical Engineering Calc doubt.

 

I need to calculate steam flow rate value in term of Nm3/hr (equivalent air).

 

Any one help ?

Many references are available to help.  IF you are ChE there should be one on your shelf now.  I use Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes by Felder and Rousseau.  IF you are student, you are posting in the wrong forum.

 

What steam flow rate value and units do you want to convert?

I'm sorry but the second post is just wrong.

Your question is quite easy to solve and surprisingly is the most common mistake done even by the most experienced chemical engineers.  Please be aware that in industry when you are talking about steam, then the flowrste is refered always im lb/h or ton/h.  But anyhow, if you mean to express it in Nm3/h you first have to know the so called normal conds: 32 F and 14.7 psia.  If you start from lb/h for example just use the molecular weight of 18 taking into account that 1 mol at normal conditions occupies 22,4 L.

Best regards
