ANSWER:

Solution 10 CGP

Step 1 of 2

We have find whether the state of natural gas change during the filling process and also what happens to the flow work.

The state of natural gas in the storage tank depends on the pressure and temperature inside the tank and also the pressure and temperature of supplied natural gas through the pipeline.

Since the pressure and temperature(110 kPa, 290 K) of supplied natural gas is same as that inside the tank, the state of natural does not change during the filling process.
