A finned-tube heat exchanger is used as an air-conditioning condenser. During a steady state operation, refrigerant in the tubes remains 2-phase state throughout the heat exchanger at the condensing temperature 67 °C. Air enters the condenser at inlet temperature 22 °C and air mass flow rate is 0.7 kg/s. Refrigerant-side convection thermal resistance and tube wall conduction resistances are negligible. Airside total surface area is 8 m² and overall surface efficiency is 0.75. Airside average convection coefficient is 102 W/(m²K). The specific heat of air is 1,006 J/(kgK). Determine the heat transfer rate in W.

Question
A finned-tube heat exchanger is used as an air-conditioning condenser. During a
steady state operation, refrigerant in the tubes remains 2-phase state throughout the
heat exchanger at the condensing temperature 67 °C. Air enters the condenser at inlet
temperature 22 °C and air mass flow rate is 0.7 kg/s. Refrigerant-side convection
thermal resistance and tube wall conduction resistances are negligible. Airside total
surface area is 8 m² and overall surface efficiency is 0.75. Airside average convection
coefficient is 102 W/(m²K). The specific heat of air is 1,006 J/(kgK). Determine the
heat transfer rate in W.
