A surface steam condenser is to be designed for a 100 MW industrial power plant located at Taymsa industrial estate, Nizwa. The conditions are: The steam supply at 150 bar and 600oC and the condenser pressure is 0.2 bar, dry saturated. The inlet and outlet temperatures of cooling water are 25oC and 35oC. The condensate is saturated water and 60oC. The overall heat transfer coefficient = 8 kW/m2oC and the outer diameter of the pipe is 2.5 cm. As an engineer, how would you calculate the number of tubes required if its length is limited to 5 m and the mass of water circulated in kg/s. Take the density
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
