The condenser of a steam power plant consists of AISI 302 Stainless steel tubes, each with outer and inner diameters of 35 mm and 30 mm, respectively. Saturated steam at 0.135 bar condenses on the outer surface of the tube, while water at a mean temperature of 295 K is in fully developed flow through the tube (you can assume that 295 K is the mean temperature in the axial direction of the tube (e.g. along its length) or you may assume that the inlet water temperature is 295 K). For a water mass flow rate of 0.22 kg/s, what is the outer surface temperature of the tube and the rates of heat transfer and steam condensation per unit tube length? As an approximation you may evaluate the properties of the liquid film at the saturation temperature.
