Question: In condensers used in thermal power plants, steam is normally used in shell side and cooling water on the tube side, because of the reason that
[A].

compared to the mass flow rate of cooling water, the rate of condensation of steam is invariably smaller.

[B].

maintaining vacuum on tube side is more difficult than that on the shell side.

[C].

water velocity can be increased conveniently to increase the overall heat transfer co-efficient because of its lower specific volume compared to steam.

[D].

condenser can act as a storage unit for condensed steam.
