The 1-m-long, tube-within-a-tube heat exchanger, as shown in the sketch, is used to condense steam at 2 atmospheres in the annulus. Water flows in the inner tube, entering at 90°C. The inner tube is made of copper with a 1.27 cm OD and 1.0 cm ID. (a) Estimate the water flow rate required to keep its outlet temperature below 100°C. (b) Estimate the pressure drop and the pumping power for the water in the heat exchanger, neglecting inlet and outlet losses.
