Question 1 (Use excel to solve) [30]

The condenser of a steam power plant contains N = 1000 brass tubes (kt = 110 W/m.K), each of
inner and outer diameters, Di = 25 mm and Do = 28 mm, respectively. Steam condensation on the
outer surfaces of the tube is characterized by a convection coefficient ho = 10,000 W/m2.K

a) If cooling water from a large take is pumped through the condenser tubes at mc = 400 kg/s,
what is the overall heat transfer coefficient Uo based on the outer surface area of a tube?
(10)
b) If after extended operation, fouling provides a resistance of R’f = 10-4 m2.K/W, at the inner
surface, what is the value of Uo? (6)
c) If mc is increased by 15% of the initial, what will be the value of Uo? (8)
d) If water is extracted from the lake at 15oC and 10 kg/s of steam at 0.0622 bars are to be
condensed, what is the corresponding temperature of the water leaving the condenser?
(6)

Question2 [15]
A single-pass, cross-flow heat exchanger uses hot exhaust gases (mixed) to heat water (unmixed)
from 30 to 80oC at a rate of 3 kg/s. The exhaust gases, having thermophysical properties similar to
air, enter and exit the exchanger at 225 and 100oC, respectively. If the overall heat transfer
coefficient is 200 W/m2K, estimate the required surface area.
