If the coolant is not in multiple-phase, and if the overall heat transfer coefficient is constant, then the assumptions underlying the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) __________ Correct Answer Are Valid

For LMTD (logarithmic mean temperature difference) to be valid, the first condition is that the coolant should be in single-phase, and the overall heat transfer coefficient should be reasonably constant.

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 number of transfer units of the heat exchanger. At the condensing pressure, stream has 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 water. Take specific heat of water as 4 k J/kg K
