Saturated water vapor at 100°C condenses in a 1-shell and 2-tube heat exchanger with a surface area of 0.5 m^2 and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/m^2·K. Cold water (cpc = 4179 J/kg·K) flowing at 0.5 kg/s enters the tube side at 15°C. Determine (a) the heat transfer effectiveness, (b) the outlet temperature of the cold water, and (c) the heat transfer rate for the heat exchanger.

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with 1 shell pass and 14 tube passes is used to heat water in the tubes with geothermal steam condensing at 120°C (hfg = 2203 kJ/kg) on the shell side. The tubes are thin-walled and have a diameter of 2.4 cm and a length of 3.2 m per pass. Water (cp = 4180 J/kg·K) enters the tubes at 22°C at a rate of 3.9 kg/s. If the temperature difference between the two fluids at the exit is 46°C, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, (b) the rate of condensation of steam, and (c) the overall heat transfer coefficient.

At steady state, a device receives a stream of saturated water vapor at $210^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and discharges a condensate stream at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 0.1 \mathrm{MPa}$ while delivering energy by heat transfer at $300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The only other energy transfer involves heat transfer at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to the surroundings. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. What is the maximum theoretical amount of energy, in $\mathrm{kJ}$ per $\mathrm{kg}$ of steam entering, that could be delivered at $300^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
