The presence of a small amount of air may cause a significant reduction in the heat rate
Question:
The presence of a small amount of air may cause a significant reduction in the heat rate to a water-cooled steam condenser surface. For a clean surface with pure steam and the prescribed conditions, the condensate rate is 0.020 kg/m2 ? s. With the presence of stagnant air in the steam, the condensate surface temperature drops from 28 to 24?C and the condensate rate is reduced by a factor of 2. For the air-steam mixture, determine the partial pressure of air as a function of distance from the condensate film.
