Thanks for the replies (Compositepro, that's the idea I mentioned in the OP). It's actually super simple, just m(H2-H1), and the saturated steam becomes superheated. If you look up the compression cycle for refrigeration (Pv, Tv, Ts, etc.) diagrams, you can see what it would look like. I was...
Hi. I need some serious help!
I'm trying to find the energy (or work, in kj/kg) required to compress saturated water vapor BACK into liquid water.
The idea is that instead of condensing the water through loss of the enthalpy of vaporization, I instead turn the vapor back into water via...
