Formation of liquid water and damaging compressor

Assignment Help Chemical Engineering
Reference no: EM131194330

A boiler house produces a large excess of low-pressure [3.45 bar g, 3 K (3°C) superheat] steam. An upgrade is proposed that would first run the low-pressure steam through an adiabatic steady-flow compressor, producing medium-pressure r10.35 bar g] steam. A young engineer expresses concern that compression could result in the formation of liquid water, damaging the compressor. Is there cause for concern? Suggestion: Refer to the Mollier diagram of Fig. 6.4.
