Question: Task 5 Closed Tank with Propane A rigid, closed tank ( a solid tank that does not change volume ) contains 3 . 5 kg

Task 5 Closed Tank with Propane
A rigid, closed tank (a solid tank that does not change volume) contains 3.5 kg of propane as superheated gas at a temperature of 50\deg C and a pressure of 4.0 bar. The contents of the tank are cooled down to the dew point (where the first liquid droplets condense). Changes in kinetic and potential energy can be assumed negligible.
a) What is the temperature in the tank after cooling?
b) What is the pressure in the tank after cooling?
c) What is the change in the system's internal energy?
d) How much heat has been released from the system to the surroundings?
