A surface condenser deals with 12000 kg of steam per hour. Air leakage into the condenser is found to be 4 kg/hr. The vacuum and temperature at the air pump suction are 700 mm of Hg and 36°C respectively. The barometric pressure is 760 mm Hg. Compute the volumetric capacity in m'/min of wet air pump.
