for sat steam while designing HEX what value of density should be used takeT as 100C P 1atm

Hi, it will depending on what you are doing and how much accurate you need to be on your calculations. For instance, are you planning to size the exchanger inlet nozzle? use the saturated vapor density. Is it for nozzle outlet, use saturated condensate density. Do you need to perform pressure drop calculation on tubes? you can start with an average density between saturated vapor and condensate. if you need to be more accurate, eventually you will need to split the exchanger in section and apply the correct density for each section. In summary, first let clear what you need do, later, identify the level of accuracy you need to achieve, and finally, select the parameters to comply with both previous conditions 😇
