Steam Condenser

01/28/2008 2:42 AM

I was warking with small steam condenser design from saturation line to 45 degree celusus. but what the probelm is to calculate the convection heat tranfer coefficient. plaes suggest the method?

I am interested in steam power and I hope someone can give you an answer. I am actually more concerned with the physical design and size needed to condense a given flow of steam at a given temperature.

to calculte it you must know (Q) which generation from it but if you donot know it you know amount of coolant in my countary we use water for example si equal 5 kg/sec and cp=4.18 and ΔΤ=45°(which you say) and then maltiuply it and equal (u*a*ΔtM) only if you donot have it give me data and iwill calculate it but give all this data

noha - Please repeat that in simple English terms so a math impaired person can understand it. I can't even type some of that stuff in my computer much less understand what Q, cp, delta, u, a, t, and M stand for.

Go to the following link for further helps you calculate the "U" value (better know as the heat transfer coefficient)

Good luck!
