Question: N _ ( L ) = N _ ( T ) = 2 0 S _ ( L ) = 6 0 mm and S

N_(L)=N_(T)=20 S_(L)=60mm and S_(T)=30mm, respectively.
Saturated steam at a pressure of 2.455 bars enters the tubes, and a uniform tube outer surface temperature of T_(s)=390K may be assumed to be maintained as condensation occurs within the tubes.
(a) If the temperature and velocity of the air upstream of the array are T_(i)=300K and V=4(m)/(s), what is the temperature T_(0) of the air that leaves the array? As a first approximation, evaluate the properties of air at 300 K .
(b) If the tubes are 2 m long, what is the total heat transfer rate for the array? What is the rate at which steam is condensed in k(g)/(s)?
(c).Cl Assess the effect of increasing N_(L) by a factor of 2, while reducing S_(L) to 30 mm . For this configuration, explore the effect of changes in the air velocity.
N _ ( L ) = N _ ( T ) = 2 0 S _ ( L ) = 6 0 mm
