Can you help me solve this?  Figure below shows a steam jet refrigeration system that produces chilled water in a flash chamber. The chamber is maintained at a pressure by the steam ejector, which removes the vapor generated by entraining it in the low-pressure jet and discharging into the condenser. The vacuum pump removes air and other non-condensable gases from the condenser shell. For the conditions shown on the figure, determine the make-up water and cooling water flow rates in kg/hr.
