4-108 Problem 4-107 is reconsidered. The effect of the initial pressure of refrigerant-134 on the volume of the tank is
to be investigated as the initial pressure varies from 0.5 MPa to 1.5 MPa. The volume of the tank is to be plotted versus the
initial pressure, and the results are to be discussed.
Analysis The problem is solved using EES, and the solution is given below.

4-109 A propane tank contains 5 L of liquid propane at the ambient temperature. Now a leak develops at the top of the tank
and propane starts to leak out. The temperature of propane when the pressure drops to 1 atm and the amount of heat
transferred to the tank by the time the entire propane in the tank is vaporized are to be determined.
Properties The properties of propane at 1 atm are Tsat = -42.1°C,
