11.31 A feedwater heater that supplies a boiler consists of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and two tube passes. One hundred thin-walled tubes each have a diameter of 20mm and a length (per pass) of 2m. Under normal operating conditions water enters the tubes at 10kg/s and 290K and is heated by condensing saturated steam at 1 atm on the outer surface of the tubes. The convection coefficient of the saturated steam is 10,000W/m2?K. (a) Determine the water outlet temperature.
