Compare the rate of heat transfer and the pressure drop for an in-line and a staggered arrangement of a tube bank consisting of 300 tubes, 1.8 m long and 2.5 cm OD. The tubes are to be arranged in 15 rows with longitudinal and transverse spacing of 5 cm. The tube surface temperature is 95°C and water at 35°C is flowing at a mass rate of 5400 kg/s over the tubes.
