An air conditioner condenser in an automobile consists of 2 m2 of tubular heat exchange area whose surface temperature is 30°C. Saturated refrigerant-134a vapor at 50°C (hfg = 152 kJ/kg) condenses on these tubes. What heat transfer coefficent must exist between the tube surface and condensing vapor to produce 1.5 kg/min of condensate?

(a) 95 W/m2·K  


(b) 640 W/m2·K


(c) 727 W/m2·K


(d) 799 W/m2·K


(e) 960 W/m2·K
