  • Question
  • In condensers used in thermal power plants, steam is normally used in shell side and cooling water on the tube side, because of the reason that


  • Options
  • A. compared to the mass flow rate of cooling water, the rate of condensation of steam is invariably smaller.
  • B. maintaining vacuum on tube side is more difficult than that on the shell side.
  • C. water velocity can be increased conveniently to increase the overall heat transfer co-efficient because of its lower specific volume compared to steam.
  • D. condenser can act as a storage unit for condensed steam.

  • Correct Answer
  • water velocity can be increased conveniently to increase the overall heat transfer co-efficient because of its lower specific volume compared to steam.
