Question: Steam from a process at 1 6 5 C is condensed by passing over tubes where cooling water is flowing. The tubes have an inside

Steam from a process at 165C is condensed by passing over tubes where cooling water is flowing. The tubes have an inside diameter of 10 cm, are 14 m in length, and may be considered smooth. Cooling water enters at 25C at a total rate of 40 kg/s into the 20 tubes. Determine the exit temperature of the cooling water assuming that the wall of tube is thin enough to imply that the wall temperature is uniform at 165C. Notes: (i) Hint: Start by guessing an exit saturated water temperature in the range of 110-120C. Only two iterations are required to show your method to solve the problem. (ii) Properties of saturated water can be found in Attachment 3
