A one-pass condenser-heat exchanger, shown in the sketch, has 64 tubes arranged in a square array with 8 tubes per line. The tubes are 1.22 m long and are made of copper with an outside diameter of 1.27 cm. They are contained in a shell at atmospheric pressure. Water flows inside the tubes whose outside wall temperature is 98°C. Calculate (a) the rate of steam condensation and (b) the temperature rise of the water if the flow rate per tube is 0.0454 kg/s.
