Question: Condensing film co - efficient for steam on horizontal tubes ranges from 5 0 0 0 to 1 5 0 0 0 Kcal / hr

Condensing film co-efficient for steam on horizontal tubes ranges from 5000 to 15000 Kcal/hr.m2.C. Condensation of vapor is carried out inside the tube in a shell and tube heat exchanger, when the
Higher condensing film co-efficient is desired
Condensate is corrosive in nature
Lower pressure drop through the exchanger is desired
Temperature of the incoming vapor is very high
