Question:
An S-T condenser contains six rows of five copper tubes per row on a square pitch. The tubes are ¾-in, 14 BWG, and 3 m long. Cooling water flows through the tubes such that h = 2000 W/m2/K. The water flow is high so that the temperature on the tube side may be assumed to be constant at 35°C. Pure, saturated steam at 2 bar is condensing on the shell side. Determine the capacity of the condenser (Q in kW) if the condenser tubes are oriented
(a) Vertically and
(b) Horizontally.
