In a shell and tube type steam condenser, assume that there are 81 tubes arranged in a square pitch with 9 tubes per column. The tubes are made of copper with an outside diameter of 1 in. The length of the condenser is 1.5 m.
The shell side condensation occurs at saturation pressure. Water flows inside the tubes with a mass flow rate of 4 kg/s. The tube outside wall temperature is 90C. With reasonable assumption, perform thermal and hydraulic analysis of the condenser.
