A horizontal shell-and-tube condenser is to be used to condense saturated ammonia vapor at l 45 lbf/in2 .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.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
