Question:

A steam condenser is made with 115 parallel tubes each having an inner diameter of 0.584 inches. The cooling water (cp = 1.0 Btu/lb· F) enters the tubes at 70 F with an average velocity of 5 ft/s through each tube. Saturated-vapor steam at 5 psia condenses on the outside of the tubes. If the cooling water exits the condenser at 104 F, determine the condensation rate of the steam in lbm/hr.
