A film-type condenser consists of a packed bed of 3-cm-diameter spheres with a voidage of 35%. Water sprayed onto the bed at 60° C is used to condense steam entering at the base at a saturation temperature of 100° C. How deep must the bed be to ensure complete condensation of the steam, and what is the outlet temperature of the water? (Use water properties based on the mean of the inlet and outlet water temperatures, and iterate if necessary.)
