Chapter 11, Problem 11.43P

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger (1 shell pass, 2 tubepasses) is to be used to condense 2.73 kg/s of saturatedsteam at 340 K. Condensation occurs on the outer tubesurfaces, and the corresponding convection coefficient is 10 , 000  W/m 2 K . The temperature of the cooling water entering the tubes is 15 ° C , and the exit temperature is not to exceed 15 ° C . Thin-walled tubes of 19-mm diameter are specified, and the mean velocity of waterflow through the tubes is tobe maintained at 0.5 m/s.

  1. What is the minimum number of tubes that shouldbe used, and what is the corresponding tube lengthper pass?
  2. To reduce the size of the heat exchanger, it is proposed to increase the water-side convection coefficient by inserting a wire mesh in the tubes. If themesh increases the convection coefficient by a
    factor of two, what is the required tube length perpass?

Saturated steam at 110°C is condensed in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (1 shell pass; 2, 4, ⋯ tube passes) with a UA value of 2.5 kW/K. Cooling water enters at 40°C. (a) Calculate the cooling water flow rate required to maintain a heat rate of 150 kW. (b) Assuming that UA is independent of flow rate, calculate and plot the water flow rate required to provide heat rates over the range from 130 to 160 kW. Comment on the validity of your assumption.
What is the developed coefficient of conductance of a tube-in-tube condenser having a water terminal temperature of 28.9°C and 18.3°C? The rate of water discharge from a 5.4mm copper alloy tubes 3.05 meters long are surrounded by steam flow of 97 kg/min at 104.4°C.
A two-pass steam surface condenser is to be designed to condense10,000 kg/hr of steam having an enthalpy of 2,240 kJ/kg. Condenserpressure is 13.79 kPa. Circulating water enters the condenser at 25 OCand leaves at 40 OC. The outside and inside diameter for a water tube;OD=20 mm , ID = 17 mm and water velocity of 3 m/s. If the overallcoefficient of heat transfer is 14,100 kJ/hr-m2-OC of outside tubesurface, determine the amount of circulating water in m3/hr.
