A 1.905-cm-diameter brass tube is used to condense steam on its outer surface at 10.13 kPa pressure.

Question:

A 1.905-cm-diameter brass tube is used to condense steam on its outer surface at 10.13 kPa pressure. Water at 290 K is circulated through the tube. Inside and outside surface coefficients are 1700 and 8500 W/m2 · K, respectively. Find the rate of steam condensed per hour per meter of the tube length under these conditions. The following information is pertinent:

tube OD = 1.905 cm
tube ID = 1.656 cm
steam saturation temperature = 319.5 K
steam latent heat, hfg = 2393 kJ/kg.
