Review the four rows of tubes in the airflow direction


Discuss the below:

Q: A cooling coil consists of a bank of aluminum (k = 237 W/m · K) finned tubes having the core configuration of figure and an inner diameter of 13.8 mm. The tubes are installed in a plenum whose square cross section is 0.4 m on a side, thereby providing a frontal area of 0.16 m2. Atmospheric air at 1.5 kg/s is in cross flow over the tubes, while saturated refrigerant- 134a at 1 atm passes through the tubes. There are four rows of tubes in the airflow direction. If the air enters at 37°C, what is its exit temperature? A convection coefficient of 5000 W/m2 · K is associated with evaporation in the tubes.
