Condener m2

This document provides specifications for a condenser, including mass flow rates and temperatures of the vapour and cooling fluids, physical properties, heat transfer coefficients, pressure drops, and dimensions. The condenser uses a shell and tube design with 45,000 kg/h of vapour flowing through tubes and a cooling fluid flowing on the shell side. Key specifications and results include an overall heat transfer coefficient of 788.94 W/m2°C, a shell side pressure drop of 135.63 kPa, and a tube side pressure drop of 76,109.86 Pa.
