Q5/Air is to be heated by passing it over a bank of 3-m-long tubes inside which steam is condensing at 100°C. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 20°C and I atm with a mean velocity of 5.2 m/s. The outer diameter of the tubes is 1.6 cm, and the tubes are arranged staggered with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SN=SP-4 cm. There are 20 rows in the flow direction with 10 tubes in each row. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, (b) and pressure drop across the tube bank Ans 74.836 W, 283.9 Pa

Question
Q5/Air is to be heated by passing it over a bank of 3-m-long tubes inside which steam is condensing
at 100°C. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 20°C and 1 atm with a mean
velocity of 5.2 m/s. The outer diameter of the tubes is 1.6 cm, and the tubes are arranged staggered
with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SN= SP=4 cm. There are 20 rows in the flow direction
with 10 tubes in each row. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, (b) and pressure drop across the
tube bank
Ans 74.836 W, 283.9 Pa
