Question: Methanol flows into a continuous vaporization unit at a flow rate of 1.0[mol/min] and a temperature 20.0[C]. Heat is added at a rate of 25.0[kJ/min.

 Methanol flows into a continuous vaporization unit at a flow rate

Methanol flows into a continuous vaporization unit at a flow rate of 1.0[mol/min] and a temperature 20.0[C]. Heat is added at a rate of 25.0[kJ/min. The entire process occurs at P=1atm. A. Is the outlet stream a subcooled liquid, saturated liquid, saturated vapor, saturated liquid/vapor mix, or superheated vapor? Back up your answer with a calculation. B. If the outlet is superheated, find the temperature. If the outlet is a saturated mixture, find the flow rates of the liquid and vapor phases in the outlet. Be sure to include reference temperatures and enthalpy paths where appropriate
