A sweet, water-saturated natural gas enters a compressor at 50 psia and 100F and leaves at 200 psia and 300F. a. Is there any chance of water condensing in the compressor? If so, how much? Answer in lb H2O/MMscf gas compressed. b. Estimate the mole fraction of water vapor in the gas stream leaving the compressor. c. The natural gas is then cooled to 190 psia and 100F before entering the second stge of compression. Should a vapor-liquid scrubber be...

. In a gas turbine plant, air enters a compressor at atmospheric conditions of 15 ?C, 1.0133 bar and is compressed through a pressure ratio of 10. The air leaving the compressor passes through a heat exchanger before entering the combustion chamber. The hot gases leave the combustion chamber at 800 ?C and expand through an HP turbine which drives the compressor. On leaving the HP turbine the gases pass through a reheat combustion chamber which raises the temperature of...
