Heat exchanger area

I have a question: To heat 45 tons of water from 10 degrees to 90 degrees in about an hour, what size heat exchanger surface area is required? (The temperature of steam at 0.5 MPA is around 150 degrees.) Is there any empirical formula for this kind of calculation? Thank you!

Question: 1. “The steam temperature at 0.5 MPA is around 100 degrees for heat exchange; why is it set at “100” degrees? 2. ““Heating 45 tons of water takes about an hour,” which gives the impression that it is a batch process. Is it operated intermittently, or is water flowing continuously? ?
The steam is at around 150 degrees; it stops there, and once heating is complete it rests
This isn’t a problem; just use the dedicated software VHeater for calculations: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1498979-1-2.html
