In which one of the following reboilers, furnace is used to heat the condensate? Correct Answer Fired reboilers

Fired reboilers use the furnace to boil the water to a superheated steam component with has higher thermal output, they specifically use high specific heat capacity fuels for burning.

In a surface condenser, the water flowing through a series of tubes at the rate of 200 kg/hr is heated from 15 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius. The steam condenses on the outside surface of tubes at atmospheric pressure and the overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated at 860 k J/m2 hr degree. Find the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. At the condensing pressure, stream has a saturation temperature 0f 100 degree Celsius and the latent heat of vaporization is 2160 k J/kg. Further, the steam is initially just saturated and the condensate leaves the exchanger without sub-cooling i.e. only latent heat of condensing steam is transferred to the water. Take specific heat of water as 4 k J/kg K

A two pass surface condenser is required to handle the exhaust from a turbine developing 15 MW with specific steam consumption of 5 kg/k W h. The quality of exhaust steam is 0.9, the condenser vacuum is 66 cm of mercury while the bar meter reads 76 cm of mercury. The condenser tubes are 28 mm inside diameter, 4 mm thick and water flows through tubes with a speed of 3 m/s and inlet temperature 20 degree Celsius. All the steam is condensed, the condensate is saturated water and temperature of cooling water at exit is 5 degree Celsius less than the condensate temperature. Assuming that overall coefficient of heat transfer is 4 k W/m2 degree, determine the mass of cooling water circulated
