6.3 Saturated steam at 110°C condenses on the outside of a bank of 64 horizontal tubes of 25 mm outer diameter, I m long arranged in a 8 x 8 square array. Calculate the rate of condensation if the tube surface is maintained at 100°C. The properties of saturated water at 105°C are p = 954.7 kg/m, k = 0.684 W/m²K u = 271 x 106 kg/ms and he = 2243.7 kJ/kg. Had the condenser been vertical, what would have been the rate of condensation?
