 - Water vapor will be condensed in the shell side of

- Water vapor will be condensed in the shell side of a condenser of one pass through the shell and eight passes through the tubes, with 50 tubes in each pass, at 90F(hfg=1,043Btu/lbm). Cooling water enters the tubes (cp1.0Btu/lbmF ) at 60F and exits at 73F. The tubes are thin-walled, have a diameter of 3/4 in and a length of 5ft per pass. If the total heat transfer coefficient is 600Btu/hft2F, determine a) the ratio of heat transfer, b) the ratio of steam condensation and c) the mass flow of cooling water
