Q. A two pass surface condenser is required to handle the exhaust from a turbine developing 15 MW with specific steam consumption of 5 kg/k W h. The quality of exhaust steam is 0.9, the condenser vacuum is 66 cm of mercury while the bar meter reads 76 cm of mercury. The condenser tubes are 28 mm inside diameter, 4 mm thick and water flows through tubes with a speed of 3 m/s and inlet temperature 20 degree Celsius. All the steam is condensed, the condensate is saturated water and temperature of cooling water at exit is 5 degree Celsius less than the condensate temperature. Assuming that overall coefficient of heat transfer is 4 k W/m² degree, determine the mass of cooling water circulated.

Q. A single pass shell and tube heat exchanger, consisting of a bundle of 100 tubes (inner diameter 25 mm and thickness 2 mm) is used for heating 28 kg/s of water from 25 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius with the help of a steam condensing at atmospheric pressure on the shell side with condensing heat transfer coefficient 5000 W/m² degree. Make calculation for overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner area. Take fouling factor on the water side to be 0.002 m² degree/W per tube and neglect effect of fouling factor on the shell side and thermal resistance of the tube wall
