For the heater consisting of the tube bank described in Problem 20.32, evaluate the heat transferred to the water if the tube array consists of six rows of tubes in the flow direction with eight tubes per row. The tubes are 5 ft long.
Problem 20.32
An industrial heater is composed of a tube bundle consisting of horizontal 3/8-in.-OD tubes in a staggered array with tubes arranged in equilateral triangle fashion having a pitchto-diameter ratio of 1.5. If water at 160F flows at 20 ft/s past the tubes with constant surface temperature of 212F, what will be the effective heat-transfer coefficient?
