AI Thread Summary
To generate 2 bar pressure steam at 403 K with a flow rate of 0.0123 kg/s, a positive displacement pump can be employed to push cold water through a heated tube. The tube should be maintained at the desired temperature using an electrically controlled oven. This setup eliminates the need for steam storage, enhancing safety. Users are seeking recommendations for commercially available ovens suitable for this application. The pressure can be regulated by controlling the steam release rate.

I am in a need to generate steam of 2 bar pressure, 403 K temperature and a mass flow rate of 0.0123 kg/s. Its just needed for my project work. Kindly suggest some ways to generate it economically. Thanks in advance.

Since you require a constant flow of 12.3 g/sec you should be able to do that without storage of steam under pressure. That will make it significantly safer.

Use a positive displacement pump to push 12.3 cc of cold water per second, up a heated tube through an oven. The oven maintains the tube at 403 K. It could be heated electrically and controlled by a thermostat. The pressure will be set by the rate you release the steam.
 
Thanks for your kind replay. What kind of oven I can use for it? For this purpose whether I could get any ready made oven from market? If so, kindly give me the information about it.
Thanks in advance.
 
Pd pump would also increase pressure of water...

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
