Moist air initially at 120 °C, 3 bar, and 60% relative humidity is contained in a 4-m³ closed, rigid tank. The tank contents are cooled. Determine the heat transfer, in kJ, if the final temperature in the tank is 50 °C. (Note: The gas constant of water vapor is R = 0.4614 kJ/kg K: gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kJ/kg K)
