Question
6- The following reading were taken during a test on a surface condenser:
Mean condenser temperature = 35°C
Hot well temperature = 30°C
Condenser vacuum = 69 cm Hg
Barometer reading = 76cmHg
Condensation rate = 16 kg/min
Cooling water temperature inter = 20 °C
Cooling water temperature outlet = 32.5 °C
Flow rate being = 37500 kg/h
Calculate:
a- mass of air present per cubic meter of condenser
b- quality of steam at condenser inlet
c- vacuum efficiency
d- condenser efficiency (condenser heat transfer effeteness)
