    The key takeaways from the document are that it describes the process of condenser design calculation including determining the heat load, heat transfer coefficient, required surface area, number of tubes, length of tubes, diameter of condenser, and pressure drop across the condenser.

    The steps involved in condenser design calculation as per the document are determining the heat load, calculating the log mean temperature difference (LMTD), calculating the heat transfer coefficient, determining the required surface area, calculating the number of tubes required, determining the length of tubes, and calculating the diameter and pressure drop of the condenser.

    The inputs required for condenser design calculation as per the document are mass flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures of steam and cooling water, dryness fraction, velocity of cooling water, allowable pressure drop, cleanliness factor, tube material, and heat load.
