Steam is to be condensed by direct injection of cold water. The steam enters the condenser at the rate of (450 kg/hr) with dryness fraction of (0.9) and pressure (1 bar). The estimated heat losses from the condenser to the surroundings is (8500 kJ/hr). If cold water enters at (15"C) and the mixture of condensate and cooling water is to leave at (95"C). Determine the required flow of cooling water.
