Question: Consider a batch process in which 3 0 0 L of a pharmaceutical are heated from 2 0 C to 8 0 C by saturated

Consider a batch process in which 300 L of a pharmaceutical are heated from 20C to 80C by saturated steam condensing at 2.455 bars as it flows through a coiled tube of 12-mm diameter and 16-m length. At any time during the process, the liquid (the pharmaceutical) may be approximated as an infinite, quiescent medium of uniform temperature and may be assumed to have constant properties of =1100kgm3,c=568.182Jkg*K,k=0.25Wm*K,v=4.010-6m2s,Pr=10, and =0.002K-1. The thermal resistances of the condensing steam and tube wall may be neglected.
What is the initial rate of heat transfer in W to the pharmaceutical?
HINT: The steam condenses at the saturation temperature.
BONUS (+4 points extra credit): Show that it takes 602 seconds for the pharmaceutical to reach 80C.
