Question

In a condenser test, the following observations were made:
Vacuum = 69 cm of Hg
Barometer = 75 cm of Hg
Mean temperature of condenser = 35°C
Hot well temperature = 28°C
Amount of cooling water = – 50,000 kg/hr
Inlet temperature = 17°C
Outlet temperature = 30°C
Amount of condensate per hour = 1250 kg
Find
(a) the amount of air present per m3
 of condenser volume.
(b) the state of steam entering the condenser.
(c) the vacuum efficiency .
R for air = 287 J/kgK
