Steam Generation Rate of a Heat Exchanger

[Disquoveri]

Let's say I have a shell and tube heat exchanger that is producing steam. I have a known volume of water entering the shell of the heat exchanger. Would the rate of steam generation be something like...

rate of steam generation = (volume of water)*(density of steam)/(time it takes to deplete the water)

Thanks in advance!

The rate of steam generation depends on the power input from the tube side.

Can you provide more information?
Is this a steady state process? ie input = output? this phrase; "time it takes to deplete the water" implies it's not, can you analyse the process at s.s.?
