Abstract
The flow of steam through a safety valve vent pipe system has been analyzed to provide a design basis for sizing the pipe to prevent blowback of steam. The analysis is based upon the application of modern fluid dynamics to the flow in ejectors and free-jet wind tunnels. The resulting vent pipe design procedure is, in the authors’ opinion, based upon a more realistic analysis than has previously been performed.
