Ethanol is to be condensed around cool 10ºC tubes of 1 cm outside diameter and at a 50 saturation temperature of 78.5ºC. Plot the heat transfer per unit length on horizontal tubes arranged as shown in Figure 10-17b and as predicted by Equation 10-49 as the number of tubes is increased. How does this result compare to the heat transfer predicted for a single tube or for a dripping, in-line tube arrangement as shown in Figure 10-17c? Ethanol has a heat of vaporization hnfg of 842 J/kg at atmospheric pressure.
