Saturated vapor at 200 °C condenses to saturated liquid at the rate of 150 kg/s on the shell side of a heat exchanger (enthalpy of condensation h fg = 2400 kJ/kg). A fluid with C p...

A shell and tube heat exchanger is used as a steam condenser. Coolant water enters the tube at 300 K at a rate of 100 kg/s. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1500 W/m².K, an...

Steam in the condenser of a thermal power plant is to be condensed at a temperature of 30°C with cooling water which enters the tubes of the condenser at 14°C and exits at 22°C. Th...

Saturated vapor is condensed to saturated liquid in a condenser. The heat capacity ratio is $${c_r} = {{{c_{\min }}} \over {{c_{\max }}}}.$$ The effectiveness $$(s)$$ of the conden...

In a condenser of a power plant, the steam condenses at a temperature of $${60^ \circ }C.$$ The cooling water enters at $${30^ \circ }C$$ and leaves at $${45^ \circ }C.$$ The logar...

Assertion (A): Condenser is an essential equipment in a steam power plant. Reason(R): For the same mass flow rate and the same pressure rise, a water pump requires substantially le...

In a condenser, water enters at $${30^ \circ }C$$ and flows at the rate $$1500$$ $$Kg/hr.$$ The condensing steam is at a temperature of $${120^ \circ }C$$ and cooling water leaves...

The practice to use steam on the shell side and cooling water on the tube side in condensers of steam power plant is because

The fundamental objective of employing the condenser in a steam power plant is to (reducce / increase ) the ______________of steam
