How to Calculate and Solve for Dryness Fraction | Enthalpy
Last Updated on April 23, 2022
The image above represents the dryness fraction.
To compute for dryness fraction, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Mass of Dry Steam Contained in Steam Considered (ms) and Weight of Water Particles in Suspension in Steam Considered (mw).
The formula for calculating dryness fraction:
x = ms / ms + mw
Where:
x = Dryness Fraction
ms = Mass of Dry Steam Contained in Steam Considered
mw = Weight of Water Particles in Suspension in Steam Considered
Let’s solve an example;
Find the dryness fraction when the mass of dry steam contained in steam considered is 21 and the weigth of water particles in suspension in steam considered is 10.
This implies that;
ms = Mass of Dry Steam Contained in Steam Considered = 21
mw = Weight of Water Particles in Suspension in Steam Considered = 10
x = ms/ ms + mw
x = 21 / 21 + 10
x = 21 / 31
x = 0.677
Therefore, the dryness fraction is 0.677.
