Abstract

Specific features of calculating the level of noise generated by a discharge of steam from power-generating boilers are considered. Different approaches and calculation formulas used for determining the noise level from a steam discharge are analyzed, a formula is given for calculating the general level of acoustic power for a steam discharge from power-generating boilers as a function of the critical flowrate of steam through a valve, and adjustment corrections are proposed for determining the octave levels of a steam jet acoustic power. A comparison is made between the obtained data and other known data.
