Compare the rate of heat transfer and the pressure drop for an in-line and a staggered arrangement of a tube bank consisting of 300 tubes, 6 ft long and 1 in. OD. The tubes are to be arranged in 15 rows with longitudinal and transverse spacing of 2 in. The tube surface temperature is 200?F and water at 100?F is flowing at a mass rate of 12,000 lb/s over the tubes.GIVENWater flowing over an in-line and a staggered tube bankNumber of tubes (Nt) = 300Length of tubes (L) = 6 ftTube outside diameter (D) = 1 in = 1/12 ftNumber of rows (N) = 15Normal and parallel spacing = 2 in = 1/6 ftTube surface temperature (Tt) = 200?FWater inlet temperature (Tw,in) = 100?FMass flow rate of water (m) = 12,000 lb/sASSUMPTIONSSteady stateTube temperature isuniform
