A two pass steam surface condenser is to be designed to condense 10000 kg/hr of steam having an enthalpy of 2240 kj/kg. Condenser pressure is 13.79 kpa. circulating water enters the condenser at 25 C and leaves at 40 C. the outside and inside diameter for a water tube, OD=20 mm, ID = 17 mm and water velocity of 3 m/s. if the overall coefficient of the heat transfer is 14100 kj/hr-m-C of outside tube surface, determine the amount of circulating water in m/hr.
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.
