(choose chapter or problem)

An air heater for an industrial application consists of aninsulated, concentric tube annulus, for which air flowsthrough a thin-walled inner tube. Saturated steam flowsthrough the outer annulus, and condensation of the steammaintains a uniform temperature Tson the tube surface.Consider conditions for which air enters a 50-mm-diameter tube at a pressure of 5 atm, a temperature ofTm,i?17C, and a flow rate of , whilesaturated steam at 2.455 bars condenses on the outersurface of the tube. If the length of the annulus isL?5 m, what are the outlet temperature Tm,oand pres-sure poof the air? What is the mass rate at which con-densate leaves the annulus?
