0.2 A condenser condenses 2700kg steam per hour while air leaks into It at 2.2kg/hr. The condensate and air suction spout temperatures are 32.9°C. The barometer and vacuum gauge readings are 765mmHg and 690mmHg respectively. The condenser uses 125.55M9 of cooling water per hour to condense steam with a dryness fraction of 0.86 and the air pump has a volumetric efficiency of 82.5%. Take R = 0.287kJ/kgK for air and calculate: %3D 6.2.1 the temperature rise of the cooling water (10.85°C); 6.2.2 the air pump capacity in m2/min (0.78m3³/min).

Hello! I'd like help with the following exercise, from Levenspiel's "Engineering Flow and Heat Exchange". Leftover air at 20ºC and 100kPa is driven by a fan through a horizontal galvanized conduit of 1 m in diameter and 10m in length at a speed of 10 m/s. What size motor should be used if its efficiency is 90% and that of the fan is 20%? I'm not sure where to start. My professor hasn't explained much about this subject.
A steam condenser receives 10 kg per second of steam with an enthalpy of 2570 KJ/kg. Steam condenses into liquid and leaves with an enthalpy of 160 KJ/kg, if cooling water passes through the condenser with temperature increases from 13oC to 24oC. Calculate the cooling water flow rate in kg/sec. Show conversion of units pls
