Assume the condensed water is being fed back at 100°C.
The energy to vaporize water at 100°C is 2260 J/g. If 1 MW is heating
100°C water then I estimate the flow has to be 442.5 gm/s, with a
volumetric flow of 737.5 liters/sec. This gives a flow velocity of
(737500 cm^3/s)/(33 cm^3)= 223 m/s in the pipe, or 803 km/hr.
If I did the calculations right, then this indicates the device could
blow up. If there are emergency steam relief valves on the devices
the steam could be released inside the container.
Note, if water is fed back a 50°C I get only 675 liter/sec steam flow.
Thank you very much.
So we must wait. Possibly he adds pipes or tubes.
Or he uses higher pressures and temperatures or something else than water.
Or he has other surprises.
Only Mr. Rossi knows and he probably will not tell this to us and to
competitors.
I dont expect too much from the 1MW plant. Observers will not want to do
measurements and tests inside this hot and somewhat dangerous box.
My hopes are on the promised test in Upsalla.
best regards,
Peter
