There is a condenser that is made up of a horizontal tube bank (0.25 m long, 125 mm diameter). Saturated steam at 143.3 kPa is being condensed on the outside surface of the tubes, and the surface temperature is maintained at 90°C. Find the condensation rate and heat transfer coefficient if the bank consists of 15 tubes.

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...
