Question

P15) Methane gas at 20°C is to be preheated in a heat exchanger consisting of a staggered arrangement of 4-cm-OD tubes, 5 rows deep, with a longitudinal spacing of 6 cm and a transverse spacing of 8 cm (see Fig. 7.28). Subatmospheric pressure steam is condensing inside the tubes, maintaining the tube wall temperature at 50°C. Determine (a) the average heat transfer coefficient for the tube bank and (b) the pressure drop through the tube bank. The methane flow velocity is 10 m/s upstream of the tube bank. 4 cm 8 cm Steam 50°C Methane gas 20°C 6 cm
