Off Topic: Heat Exchanger, Two-phase shellside

Hello all, sorry about the off topic question

    How can the heat transfer and Pressure drop of a STHE as follows be estimated?

       Tube bundle 380 1.1/4" staggered tubes on a 1 m shell.
       Tube side entrance: water
       Tube side exit: water
       Shell side entrance: steam
       Shell side exit: 20%mass steam + 80%mass water
       Number of chicanes: 8

    I've been looking at the TEMA Standard and some regular heat tranfer books (i.e. Incropera) and can't seem to find a procedure for this kind of calculation.

    I believe that spliting the the heat exchanger calculation along it's length might lead to the solution, but still can't figure out hoe to do it.

Regards,
