The temperature issue related to condensation in heat exchangers

In the stripping tower, a reboiler is used to exchange heat with the wastewater in order to purify it. It is known that 10 kilograms of steam are used to exchange heat with the wastewater for purification; what is then the temperature of the condensate water that forms after this heat exchange? Does anyone know?

You are using 10 kilograms of steam, but the steam pressure in the reboiler is not that high; for example, it’s 5 kilograms. In that case, the temperature of the condensate will be equal to the saturation temperature of steam at that pressure (slightly lower)

3-5 degrees lower than the saturation temperature is sufficient.
