Heat transfer between steam and nitrogen in a rig

Heat transfer between steam and nitrogen in a rig

Heat transfer between steam and nitrogen in a rig

(OP)
Hello,
I have a fluidizing rig which uses steam as the fluidizing gas and nitrogen as a inert gas at the upper part of the same rig. The temperature of the steam is 600°C and the nitorgen is at 220°C. The steam flows upward at 180 liters/min and the nitrogen downward at 70 liters/min (they both leave the rig at a central outlet). What I am trying to find out is what will be the decrease in temperature in the steam due to the nitorgen introduction, first due to condensation reasons and secondly to know what will be the real temperature of the process when both gases are in equilibrium. Could someone please help with this matter and show me what would be the equations to calculate the equilibrium so I could figure out what would be the best temperatures and flows for the nitrogen.
Thanks a lot.
