A bank of tubes is made of copper tubes. There are 20 rows of tubes in the flow direction set in staggered fashion with 15 cm longitudinal spacing and 10 cm transferred spacing. Each raw consist of 15 tubes, 1.5 m long. This bank is used to condense saturated steam at 120 °C, which passes through 2½ SCH 40 tubes. The steam heat transfer coefficient is 10000 W/m2.K. Water at 10 °C and 0.15 m/s is supplied to flow over the tubes in the bank to condense the steam. The tube surface temperature (Ts) is 118 °C and the water side has a fouling factor of 1.76E-4 m² K/W. Calculate The rate of condensation in kg/s at which the saturated steam is condensed in this bank. The pressure drop across the tube-bank by method 2.) Hint: Assume T-290 K. Check this assumption when you find mo A bank of tubes is made of copper tubes.
