Question: b ) A 1 - 2 shell and tube condenser on a power plant, consisting of a single shell and 3 0 0 0 0
b A shell and tube condenser on a power plant, consisting of a
single shell and tubes, has a duty of MW from low
pressure steam condensation shellside with cooling water tubeside.
The cooling water inlet is at the water flowrate per tube is
and the tube diameter is with thin walls. The steam
condenses at The shellside heat transfer coefficient is
The specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and
viscosity of the water may be taken as
and mPa, respectively. Find the water outlet temperature and
the tube length per pass required for the duty.
c For the exchanger described in Q b calculate the effectiveness.
Note:
The following correlations apply for convective heat transfer in tubes:
for
for ; tube diameter, tube length.
