To @ayans2495:
Something that might save you from future grief is the good habit of using different subscripts for different entities. The default is that the same symbol with the same subscript is the same quantity. In posting #1 you say
miceLf + micecw ΔT= msteamLv + msteamcwΔT
I would use different subscripts to distinguish the two different changes in temperature, and then replace in the next equation ΔTice = Tf - Tice and ΔTsteam = Tf - Tsteam where Tice = 0 oC and Tsteam = 100 oC.
