About SEPARATING & THROTTLING CALORIMETER APPARATUS

Specification:

SEPARATING& THROTTLING CALORIMETER APPARATUS/ SEPARATING CALORIMETER APPARATUS/ THROTTLINGCALORIMETER APPARATUS

Description

Separating Calorimeter: - It consists of two concentricchambers, the inner chamber and the outer chamber, which communicates with eachother through an opening at the top.

As the steam discharges through themetal basket, which has a large number of holes, the water particles due totheir heavier momentum get separated from the steam and collect in the chamber.

The comparatively dry steam in theinner chamber moves up and then down aging through the annular space betweenthe two chambers and enters the Throttling Calorimeter.

Throttling Calorimeter: - It consists a narrow throat(Orifice). Pressure and temperature are measured by pressure gauge andthermometer. The steam after throttling process passes through the heatexchanger and condensate is collected. Steam Generator is also provided tosupply the saturated steam (Max.) at 2kg/cm2 pressure.

Experimentation/Learning Objectives

To find the dryness fraction ofsteam.

Utilities Required

Electric Supply: Single Phase, 220 V, 10 Amp.

Continuous Water Supply: 10 LPM Approx. at kg/cm2 pressure
