Repeat Problem 9.23 for a tier of six horizontal 2.5-cm-OD tubes under similar thermal conditions.
GIVEN
? Saturated steam condensing on horizontal tubes
? Tube outside diameter (D) = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m
? Tube outer surface temperature (Ts) = 27°C
? Steam pressure (p) = 12 kPa
? Number of tubes (n) = 6
FIND
? The average heat transfer coefficient (hc)
ASSUMPTIONS
? Steady state
? Film condensation occurs
SKETCH
PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS
From Appendix 2, Table 13, for saturated water at 12 kPa
The average heat transfer coefficient for the tube bank is given by Equation (9.24)
