what are some chemical or physical properties that are typically measured in a process stream ?
sanka said:Similar to the answer given by rock.freak667, the parameters usually measured are temperature, pressure and flow rate. Most properties (such as enthalpy, entropy, etc.) are simply functions of the steam temperature.
One important point to add is that the steam quality (dryness fraction) is an important parameter which should be known but cannot, under most circumstances, be measured directly.
Some common properties that are measured in a process stream include temperature, pressure, flow rate, pH, and concentration of various substances.
These properties are important to measure in a process stream because they provide valuable information about the state of the process and can help identify any potential issues or inefficiencies.
These properties are typically measured using specialized instruments such as thermometers, pressure gauges, flow meters, pH meters, and analyzers that are designed to accurately measure and report these specific properties.
The accuracy of these measurements can be affected by various factors such as instrument calibration, environmental conditions, and the presence of impurities or contaminants in the process stream.
The frequency of these measurements will depend on the specific process and its requirements. In general, these properties should be measured regularly to ensure the process is running smoothly and any issues can be identified and addressed in a timely manner.
