Feedwater Heater (Condensing Section 0D)

The condensing feedwater heater is the same as the HeatExchanger model with one additional constraint to calculate the inlet flow rate such that all the entering steam is condensed. This model is suitable for steady state modeling, and is intended to be used with the IAWPS95 property package. For dynamic modeling, the 1D feedwater heater models should be used (not yet publicly available).

Degrees of Freedom

Usually area and overall_heat_transfer_coefficient are fixed or constraints are provided to calculate overall_heat_transfer_coefficient. If the inlets are also fixed except for the inlet steam flow rate (inlet_1.flow_mol), the model will have 0 degrees of freedom.

Variables

The variables are the same as HeatExchanger.

Constraints

In addition to the HeatExchanger constraints, there is one additional constraint to calculate the inlet steam flow such that all steam condenses. The constraint is called extraction_rate_constraint, and is defined below.

\[h_{steam, out} = h_{sat, liquid}(P)\]

Where \(h\) is molar enthalpy, and the saturated liquid enthalpy is a function of pressure.

FWHCondensing0DData Class

class idaes.unit_models.power_generation.feedwater_heater_0D.FWHCondensing0DData(component)[source]
build()[source]

Building model

Parameters:None
Returns:None
initialize(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Use the regular heat exchanger initilization, with the extraction rate constraint deactivated; then it activates the constraint and calculates a steam inlet flow rate.
