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 1-2 shell and tube condenser on a power plant, consisting of a
single shell and 30000 tubes, has a duty of 2000 MW from low
pressure steam condensation shellside with cooling water tubeside.
The cooling water inlet is at 303K, the water flowrate per tube is
1kgs-1 and the tube diameter is 25mm with thin walls. The steam
condenses at 333K. The shellside heat transfer coefficient is
11kWmK-1. The specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and
viscosity of the water may be taken as 4180Jkg-1K-1,0.6Wm-1K-1
and 0.885mPa, respectively. Find the water outlet temperature and
the tube length per pass required for the duty.
c) For the exchanger described in Q2 b), calculate the effectiveness.
Note:
The following correlations apply for convective heat transfer in tubes:
=0.023Re0.8Pr0.33 for Re>2100
=1.84(RePr(dL))13 for Re2100;dis tube diameter, Lis tube length.
