Saturated water vapor leaves a steam turbine at a flow rate of 1.47 kg/s and a pressure of 0.51 bar. The vapor is to be completely condensed to saturated liquid in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger that uses city water as the cold fluid. The water enters the thin-walled tubes at 17oC and is to leave at 57.6 oC. Assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m2K, determine the required heat exchanger surface area and the water flow rate. cp,c = 4185 J/kgK, Tsat = 355 K, hfg = 2304 kJ/kg.

The condenser of a large steam power plant is a heat exchanger in which steam is condensed to liquid water. Assume the condenser to be a parallel flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger consisting of a single shell and 10,000 tubes, each executing two passes. The tubes are of thin wall construction with D = 30 mm and the steam condenses on their outer surface. The heat transfer rate that must be effected by the exchanger is Q = 2 × 10^9...

Water at a flow rate of 60 kg/s enters the shell-side of a baffled shell-and-tube heat exchanger at 35 °C and leaves at 25 °C. The heat will be transferred to 150 kg/s of raw water coming from a supply at 15 °C. You are requested to design the heat exchanger for this purpose. A single shell and single tube pass is preferable. The tube diameter is ¾ in. (19 mm outer diameter with 16 mm inner diameter) and tubes...

Three kilograms (3.0 kg) of saturated steam at 162oC is held in a closed piston-cylinder apparatus with a weighted piston that exerts a constant force on the steam. The piston-cylinder apparatus loses energy to the surroundings such that at a certain point 50% of the steam has condensed to a saturated liquid inside the cylinder (NOTE: the vapor and liquid are still saturated at the new condition). a. For the process described above, determine the heat exchange with the surroundings....
