The following two claims are made by salesmen about newly invented 2-phase adiabatic compressors.
Salesman A: "It can compress steam with a quality of 0.2 from 50 kPa to saturated liquid at 1000 kPa."
Salesman B: "It can compress steam with a quality of 0.2 from 50 kPa to saturated liquid at 3000 kPa."
a. Show both claims on a T-?̂ (temperature vs. specific entropy) diagram.
b. Which claim or claims are possible?
c. Which claim or claims are impossible?
