Propane is contained in a closed, rigid container with a volume of 10 m^3.  Initially the pressure and temperture of the propane are 8 bar and 80 ^0C, respectively.  The temperture drops as a result of energy rejected by heat transfer to the surroundings.  Determine the temperture at which condensation first occurs, in ^0C, and the fraction of the total mass that has condensed when the pressure reaches 5 bar.  What is the volume, in m^3, occupied by saturated liquid at the final state?
