Pressure Drop in Condenser

Measure pressure before and after the steam condenser, subtract.

For any other approach you must know many things about the steam condenser.

This sure smells like a HW question??

I could not get it ..!! What do u mean by HW question?

HW= Home Work, Most all us here will help people, but we don't do Home Work and we would prefer people try and do some researching themselves and then if you have a question about what your researching, we're more than happy to help. By helping a student with their home work, is taking away from their education, they don't learn how to properly research their work, or how to apply formula's .....ect.

Right sir. !! but now after seeing my reply to Mr mrswami u would have changed ur opinion abt my question of being a HW question as I have already worked very hard to find out the answer to my question and also to some extent I have got the solution from one website also but I want the valdiation of corelations from the Engineers community around the world by getting their response thats y i questioned.

Now I hope that I would get some good technical response to my question from ur side sir..!

Pressure drop in any heat exchanger has the following components:-

Pressure drop due to friction

Acceleration or momentum pressure drop

Pressure drop/gain due to change in level

For each component there is empirical formal which are available in any text books.

U r very right "Mr mrswami" that there are frictional, Momentum and static pressure drop; out of which the last one may be neglected in my case as the condenser tubes are horizontal.

I want to know the empirical co-relation for the frictional & Momentum pressure drop of condensing steam on tube banks inside condenser.

Would you please tell me the complete corelations on this platform or could u tell me any link so that I can find the pressure drops, as I could not find any relation for condensing steam in text books of Heat exchanger design.. although relations are available for single phase pressure drop, for liquid only or for vapor only.
