Question
The condenser of a steam power plant operates at a pressure of 12.35 kPa. Steam at this pressure condenses on the outer surfaces of horizontal tubes through which cooling water circulates. The outer diameter of pipes is 4 cm, and the outer surfaces of the tubes are maintained at 20°C (see the figure). Determine:
- The rate of heat transfer to the cooling water circulating in the tubes, and
- The rate of condensation of steam per unit length of a horizontal tube.
