Steam side heat transfer co-efficient for design consideration under ordinary condition can be assumed to be about _____________ kcal/hr.m2.°C?
Correct answer: C. 7500
- A. 1250
- B. 2500
- C. 7500
- D. 15000
Explanation
Condensing steam provides a high heat-transfer coefficient, and for ordinary design conditions a value near 7500 kcal/(h·m²·°C) is commonly assumed. The lower values are more typical of less effective heat-transfer fluids or conditions.
