A condenser is to be fabricated from the heat exchanger tubing described in Problem 3.1 for a compressor that flows 950 lb/h of R-134a refriger- ant. Find the total required heat transfer rate, the heat required to desuperheat the gas, and the required length of tubing if the overall U-factor is 500 Btu/h⋅ft2⋅°F, the temperature leaving the com- pressor is 200°F, and the pressure is 185 psig. The condenser exit is saturated liquid at 185 psig and the water temperatures entering and leaving the condenser are 70°F and 80°F, respectively.
