In surface condensers write role of (i) Water tubes (ii) Shell (iii) Baffle plate (iv) Tube sheet
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Function of parts in surface condensers

1. Water tubes- Cooling water flows through it , for convective heat transfer to occur with steam outside the tubes

2. Shell- Outer body, all components are enclosed in it

3. Baffle plate- baffles provide support to tubes and also deflect the fluid flow approximately normal to tubes. This increases turbulence of shell side fluid and improves heat transfer

4. Tube sheet- All tubes are supported at the end in tube sheet
