A boiler house produces a large excess of low-pressure [50(psig), 5(°F)-superheat]steam

Chapter 7, Problem 7.43

(choose chapter or problem)

A boiler house produces a large excess of low-pressure [50(psig), 5(°F)-superheat]
steam. An upgrade is proposed that would first run the low-pressure steam through
an adiabatic steady-flow compressor, producing medium-pressure [150(psig)] 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. F.3 of App. F.
