Heat Transfer
Air is to be heated by condensing steam. Two heat exchangers are available (i) a shell and tube heat exchanger and (ii) a finned tube heat exchanger. Tube side heat transfer area are equal in both the cases. The recommended arrangement is

Shell and tube heat exchanger with air inside tubes and steam on shell side
Shell and tube heat exchanger with air on shell side and steam inside tubes
Finned tube heat exchanger with air inside and steam outside
Finned tube heat exchanger with air outside and steam inside

Heat Transfer
Condensing film co-efficient for steam on horizontal tubes ranges from 5000 to 15000 Kcal/hr.m² .°C. Condensation of vapor is carried out inside the tube in a shell and tube heat exchanger, when the

Lower pressure drop through the exchanger is desired
Condensate is corrosive in nature
Higher condensing film co-efficient is desired
Temperature of the incoming vapor is very high
