Assumptions:

1. Most of the flow patterns for steam condensate headers fall within the
annular or dispersed region on the baker map. Rarely flow pattern falls in slug
flow region.
2. Flashed steam is less than 30% by weight.
3. Vapour-liquid mixture throughout the condensate line is represented by
mixture conditions near the end of the line.

Method:

1. Amount of condensate flashed is calculated.

2. Further to above the density of the mixture (condensate+flashed steam) is
found out.
3. Using two pressure drop correlations, pressure per 100 ft. is calculated.
4. Also, the velocity of the mixture in the line of specified size is calculated. If
the velocity is lower than 500 Foot/Min., the specified line size is said to be
adequate.
