Question: A condenser is designed for a maximum heat load 1 5 0 0 x 1 0 Btu / hr at the condenser pressure of 2

A condenser is designed for a maximum heat load 1500 x 10 Btu/hr at
the condenser pressure of 2.0 in. Hg abs. The water inlet temperature is
66.7 F. The condenser Admiralty tube (60 feet long) has a 1 in. OD-18
BWG and a cleanliness factor of 85%. The water velocity in the tube is 6.9
fps. Calculate the condenser heat transfer surface area and pump horsepower. 9-10. A condenser is designed for a maximum heat load \(1500\times 10^{6}\mathrm{Btu}/\mathrm{hr}\) at the condenser pressure of \(2.0\mathrm{in}.\mathrm{Hg}\) abs. The water inlet temperature is 66.7 F. The condenser Admiralty tube (60 feet long) has a \(1\mathrm{in}\). OD-18 BWG and a cleanliness factor of \(85\%\). The water velocity in the tube is 6.9 fps. Calculate the condenser heat transfer surface area and pump horsepower.
Assume that the condenser has a single pass and the total external hydraulic loss is 80 ft .
9-11. The condenser designed in Problem 9-10 is changed into a dual-pressure condenser by adding a partition on the steam side. Other conditions are identical to those in Problem 9-10. Estimate the reduction in condenser pressure.
