In a condenser of a refrigeration unit, saturated vapor R-134a flows at 0.5 m/s into a 0.5 cm diameter horizontal tube. The tube inside surface temperature is 30ºC and the R- 134a is at 80ºC. Estimate the convective heat transfer coefficient and the expected tube length required for complete condensation of the R-134a. Use hnfg of 106.3 kJ/kg, ?f of 927.6 kg/m3, ?g of 153.8 kg/m3, and cp, ?, and ? at 400C.
