Hello,
Let's assume a flue gas/water vapor mixture at 80 degrees C. According to the partial pressure of the water vapor in the flue gas mixture, the dew point temperature is 65 degrees C. If the mixture is cooled until 40 degrees C, it will still be in the saturated zone.
Considering that, will the vapor temperature remain constant during condensation, or will it drop due to the decrease of its saturation temperature due to its loss of partial pressure while liquid water is being formed?
Can we assume that the flue gas temperature will follow the corresponding saturation temperature of the water vapor calculated accordingly to its partial pressure?
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I have a general question regarding your statement.
May you please elaborate what do you mean when you say " If the mixture is cooled until 40 degrees C, it will still be in the saturated zone. ", ( in saturated zone in particular)
Thanks
Hello Deewakar Sharma,
That you for pointing out on that , I realize that I have been unclear. I meant that at 40 degrees C(which I chose arbitrarily), the mixture will lie in the saturated liquid–vapor region, meaning that there will still be some vapor left that is not condensed.
Hope this clears.
