Five-hundred moles per minute of liquid benzene (300 K and 3.0 bar) enters a steady state heater. The benzene leaves the heater as a superheated vapor (450 K and 3.0 bar). What rate of heat addition is needed to achieve this change? Assume the heat of vaporization is not a function of pressure. Note: The vapor pressure of benzene is given by the following relationship:

lnPsat = 13.8594 – 2773.78/(T-53) where P [=] kPa and T [=] K
