Can't get either part, thanks!

**Problem Description:**

Steam is used to pre-heat an air stream before it is fed into a combustion chamber. Steam enters the well-insulated heat exchanger at 415 °C and 300.0 kPa and is isobarically condensed to a saturated liquid. The air enters at 45.0 °C and 125.0 kPa with a rate of 1050 L/s and must be heated to 255.0 °C. Assume air is an ideal gas with a molecular weight (MW) of 29 and a specific heat capacity (Cp) of \(3.5 \times R\).

**Questions:**

1. What is the flowrate of water leaving the exchanger?

   - **User Input:** -0.102 L/s
   - **Feedback:** Incorrect

2. What is the heat interaction term for the water?

   - **User Input:** -260.98 kJ/s
   - **Feedback:** Incorrect

---

**Detailed Instructions & Tips:**

- **Flowrate Calculation:**
  - Ensure you are using the correct specific volume for the exiting water stream.
  - Double-check the expected sign for the water stream; should it be negative or positive?

- **Heat Interaction Calculation:**
  - Pay attention to the energy transfer dynamics and the conservation of energy principles applicable to this system.

Use this information to understand the principles of thermodynamics in heat exchanger systems, particularly how steam can be used to transfer heat effectively to air streams.
