In a condenser, saturated water vapour flows through cool water pipes, condenses on the surface of the cooling pipes and leaves the condenser as saturated liquid. Cooling water enters the 4-cm-diameter thin copper tubes at an average velocity of 3m/s and at 10°C, and leaves the condenser at 25°C. Saturated vapour at the inlet is at 80°C. What is the mass flow rate of the saturated vapour?

Liquid water enters the tube at 20°C with a mass flow rate of 0.01 kg/s. Determine the tube surface temperature necessary to heat the water to the desired outlet temperature of 80°C.
Consider an air solar collector that is 1 m wide and 5 m longand has a constant spacing of 3 cm between the glass cover andthe collector plate. Air enters the collector at 30°C at a rate of0.15 m3/s through the 1-m-wide edge and flows along the 5-mlong passage way.

One house owner with a pond on his property has decided to use the pond water to cool his house. His idea is to flow air through a thin smooth 10-cm-diameter copper tube that could be submerged into the pond. The water in the pond, at few meters below the surface is typically maintained at a constant temperature of 15°C. If he assumes the air (~1 atm) entering the copper tube at a mean temperature of 30°C with an average velocity of 2.5 m/s, determine the necessary copper tube length that would be needed so that the outlet mean temperature of the air is 20°C. You may consider the convection heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m2·K on the outer surface of the copper tube, between the pond water and copper tube. Since the copper tube is thin, the conduction resistance of the tube wall may be neglected.

Inside a condenser, there is a bank of seven copper tubes with cooling water flowing in them. Steam condenses at a rate of 0.6 kg/s on the outer surfaces of the tubes that are at a constant temperature of 68°C. Each copper tube is 5-m long and has an inner diameter of 25 mm. Cooling water enters each tube at 5°C and exits at 60°C. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient of the cooling water flowing inside each tube and the cooling water mean velocity needed to achieve the indicated heat transfer rate in the condenser.
