HORIZONTAL CONDENSOR

AIM: To determine the heat duty and latent heat of vaporization of steam and compare it with the value obtained from standard calculation. THEORY: In a vertical tube about 60% of the vapor condense in the vapor half of the tube provided that the condensate film is following undergo elimination flow condition coefficient in case of horizontal condenser should be around and terms of physical properties of condensate film characteristics dimensions and the temperature driving force. The film co efficient for condensation over a horizontal cylinder of outer diameter D is given by ho=0.729[Ck3l2g/DAT]1/4 Film coefficient for condensation over n number of horizontal tube of diameter D is given by ho = 0.729[gl2k3 / N2/3T D0]1/4 FORMULA: Q = m Cp T = Where, Q amount of heat transferred (W) m mass flow rate ( kg / s ) Cp specific heat capacity of water ( kJ / kg K) rate of condensation ( kg / s ) Latent heat of vaporization ( kJ / kg ) APPARATUS REQUIRED: Steam generator setup. Condenser in horizontal type. Pump for pumping work with storage tank Thermocouple and thermometer. (W)

PROCEDURE: Steam generator is filled with water upto the mark. Program temperature is set at any value above 195 C. Steam generator valve is closed and supply power to produce steam. Continuous cold water supply is connected to the condenser. When the steam is formed cold water supply is started. Steam generator valve is opened and the condenser and stopwatch is started. The condensate is collected and measured. Inlet and outlet temperature of cold water is observed and recorded.
