QUESTION 1. Cool and condense benzene for storage(F&R 8.38)

At OzChem plant, benzene vapour is processed as a reagent. Theplant produces benzene as a vapour (at 5780C, 1 atm), which iscooled and converted to a liquid at 250C in a continuouscondenser that operates at 1 atm pressure (the pressuredrop is negligible). The liquid condensate from the condenser istransferred at a rate of 150 mol/s into storage tanks. Calculatethe rate (in kW) at which heat must be transferred from the benzenein the condenser.
