Determine the total condensation rate and heat transfer


1. Determine the total condensation rate and heat transfer rate for the process of Problem 10.46 when the pipe is oriented at angles of () = 0, 30, 45, and 60° from the horizontal.

2. A horizontal tube of 50-mm outer diameter, with a surface temperature of 34°C, is exposed to steam at 0.2 bar. Estimate the condensation rate and heat trans- fer rate per unit length of the tube.

3. The tube of Problem 10.58 is modified by milling sharp-cornered grooves around its periphery, as in Figure 10.15. The 2-mm-deep grooves are each 2 mm wide with a pitch of = 4 mm. Estimate the minimum condensation and heat transfer rates per unit length that would be expected for the modified tube. How much is the performance enhanced relative to the orig- inal tube of Problem 10.58?
