An adiabatic compressor is used to bring saturated water vapor at a pressure of 103 lbf/in^2 up to 1000 lbf/in^2 , where the actual exit temperature is 1000 F degree. Find the compressor efficiency and the entropy generation. is there an improvement by reducing the exit temperature to 800 F degree?
