An air cooled condenser is to reject 70 KW of heat from a condensing refrigerant to air. The condenser has an air side area of 210 m2 and a U value based on this area of 0.037 KW/m2-K; it supplied with 6.6 m3/s of air which has a density of 1.15 kg/m3. If the condensing temperature is to be limited to 55°C, what is the maximum allowable temperature of the inlet air? (°C)
