Brown-Sudes equation online calculator

App Description

Enter the value and click Calculate. The result will be displayed.

\(V=K×√[\frac {ρL-ρV}{ρV}]\)

• V = maximum allowable steam speed
• K = steam speed factor
• ρL = liquid density
• ρV = steam density

Usage example

Input data: liquid density (ρL): 20Kg / M³; steam density (ρV): 10Kg / m³;
steam velocity factor (K): 10m / s

Click "Calculate", the maximum allowable steam speed is 10m/s.

Note

Liquid density is greater than vapor density
