Question:
A horizontal shell-and-tube condenser is to be used to condense saturated ammonia vapor at 145 lbƒ/in.2 abs (Th = 82°F). The condenser has 19 steel tubes (1.5-in. OD 1.3-in. ID) 14 ft long through which cooling water is flowing. The tubes are arranged , hexagonally on 2-in. centers. The latent heat of ammonia at these conditions may be taken as 500 Btu/lb. The cooling water enters at 70°F. Determine the capacity of the condenser for these conditions.
