155 7-11 Combustion air is heated by condensing steam in a tube bank. The rate of heat transfer to ar, the pressure drop of air, and the rate of condensation of steam are to be determined. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exis. 2 The surface temperature of the tubes is equal to the temperature of steam. Properties The exit temperature of air, and thus the mean temperature, is not known. We evaluate the air properties at the assumed mean temperature of 35°C (will be checked later) and 1 atm (Table A-15): = 002625 WiavK. p= 1.145 kg/m? cp 71.007 kikg:K, Pr= 0.7268 = 1.895%10° kgims Pr, = Pra rte = 0.711 Also, the density of air at the inlet temperature of 20°C (for use in the mass flow rate calculation at the inlet) is p;= 1.204 kg/m’.
