Question:

A steam condenser is made with 125 tube paths each having an inside diameter of 11.7 mm. Cooling water (cp = 4.18 kJ/kg · °C) enters the tubes at 42° C with an average velocity of 1.37 m/s through each tube. Saturated-vapor steam at 14 kPa condenses on the outside of the tubes. If the cooling water exits the condenser at 24° C, determine the condensation rate of the steam in kg/hr.
