Chapter 7, Problem 7.43P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A large excess of low-pressure steam is produced from a boiler house thus, an upgrade is proposed, and an adiabatic steady-flow compressor first allows the low-pressure steam resulting a medium-pressure steam. If the formation of liquid water is a concern of damaging the compressor should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

According to an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged between system and surrounding or q=0 .

Liquefaction of gas takes place due to compression this, is since during compression, the molecules of gas come close to each other and the intermolecular space between them decreases resulting in change of state from gas to liquid.
