A single-pass shell-and-tube heat exchanger contains 60 steel tubes. The ID of the tubes is 0.732 in., and the OD is 1.0 in. The shell side of the exchanger contains saturated steam at 290°F, and water passes through the tubes. The unit is designed with sufficient tube area to permit 15,000 gph of water to be heated from 70 to 150°F. In the course of this design, an hd of 1500 Btu/(h)(ft2)(°F) was assumed to allow for scaling on the water side of the tube. The film coefficient for the steam is 2000 Btu/(h)(ft2)(°F). No safety factor other than the one scale value was used in carrying out the exchanger design. Estimate the temperature of saturated steam which must be used when the exchanger is new (i.e., no scale present) if the water enters the unit at a rate of 15,000 gph and is heated from 70 to 150°F.
