QUESTION:

Propane is contained in a closed, rigid container with a volume of \(10 \mathrm{~m}^3\). Initially the pressure and temperature of the propane are 8 bar and \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively. The temperature drops as a result of energy rejected by heat transfer to the surroundings. Determine the temperature at which condensation first occurs, in \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and the fraction of the total mass that has condensed when the pressure reaches 5 bar. What is the volume, in \(\mathrm{m}^3\), occupied by saturated liquid at the final state?
