Presently, benzene vapors are condensed in a heat exchanger using cooling water. The benzene (100 kmol/h) enters at 0.1013 MPa and 120°C, and exits at 0.1013 MPa and 50°C. Cooling water enters at 10°C and exits at 40°C.

a. What is the current demand for water (kg/h)?

b. To what flow rate could the water demand be lowered by introducing a reversible heat transfer device that is adiabatic with the surroundings? The temperature rise of water is to remain the same. What work could be obtained from the new heat transfer device?
