Question

Q: A condenser consists of a number of metal pipes of outer
diameter 0.025m and thickness 0.003m. Water flowing at 1 m/s
enters the pipes at 293 K and leaves at 313 K. If 2 kg/s of a
hydrocarbon vapour is to be condensed at 343 K on the outside
of the pipes of length 3 m, h on the water side 2 and on the
vapour side =1 kW/m'.K and assume that the overall coefficient
of heat transfer from vapour to water is reduced by 30% by the
effect of fouling, what would be the number of passes on the
tube side and the total number of tubes? For hydrocarbon
vapour, =300 kJ/kg. For water p-1000 kg/m', Cp-4180 J/kg K.
