A hot benzene vapor stream at 500oC and 1 bar is rapidly cooled by mixing with liquid benzene at 25oC and 1 bar. The stream leaving the mixer must be 200oC and 1 bar. Assume the reactor is at constant volume. Determine the flow rate (in mol/hr) of the liquid benzene feed stream assuming the flow rate of the hot benzene vapor stream is fixed at a certain value x (specified in the quiz question). Use the polynomial approximations for heat capacity and Table B.20 when appropriate. Assume the flow rate of the hot benzene vapor stream is fixed at 1,253 mol/hr and the liquid benzene feed stream is your reference state. What flow rate (mol/hr) of the liquid benzene feed stream must be used? Round your answer to the nearest tenth and do not include units. Use Tables B.17 and B.20 to tabulate relevant data. Remember that temperatures for polynomial heat capacities are in Kelvin.
