Question
In a binary geothermal power plant, the working fluid
isobutane is to be condensed by air in a condenser at
75°C (h, = 255.7 kJ/kg) at a rate of 3.94 kg/s. Air (cp= 1005
J/kg. C)enters the condenser at 21°C and leaves at 29°C.
The heat transfer surface area based on the isobutane
side is 18.1 m. What is the overall heat transfer
coefficient (W/m k)? Use the LMTD method and assume
a correction factor of 0.95
