A shell and tube heat exchanger is used as a steam condenser. Coolant water enters the tube at 300 K at a rate of 100 kg/s. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1500 W/m 2 K, and the total heat transfer area is 400 m 2 . Steam condenses at a saturation temperature of 350 K. Assume that the specific heat of coolant water is 4000 J/kg-K. The temperature of the coolant water coming out of the condenser is ____________ K (round off to the nearest integer).

A shell and tube heat exchanger is used as a steam condenser. Coolant water enters the tube at 300 K at a rate of 100 kg/s. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1500 W/m²K, and the total heat transfer area is 400 m². Steam condenses at a saturation temperature of 350 K. Assume that the specific heat of coolant water is 4000 J/kg-K. The temperature of the coolant water coming out of the condenser is ____________ K (round off to the nearest integer).
