With a 50 m^3 capacity, a tank contains steam at 400 degrees Celsius and 4500 kPa. From the tank, steam is vented through a relief valve to the atmosphere until the pressure in the tank falls to 3500 kPa. Assuming the venting process is adiabatic, estimate the steam's final temperature in the tank and the mass of steam vented

Question

With a 50 m^3 capacity, a tank contains steam at 400 degrees Celsius and 4500 kPa. From the tank, steam is vented through a relief valve to the atmosphere until the pressure in the tank falls to 3500 kPa. Assuming the venting process is adiabatic, estimate the steam's final temperature in the tank and the mass of steam vented. (Please help me understand the trial and error part for determining the required amounts by solving.)
