Design a steam condenser (i.e., find the number of tubes per pass, number of passes, and tube length) that will condense 10,000 kg/h of steam at 5 psia. It is desired to use tubes with 0.875 in. O.D., 0.745 in. I.D. The tube water velocity is 2 m/s, and the tubes are not to exceed 4 m in length. The tube water is to enter at 20°C and leave at 40°C
