Adiabatic compression of a saturated water vapour makes it
A. Supersaturated
B. Superheated
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Adiabatic compression means no heat is allowed to transfer so $$\delta Q = 0$$ by first law we can say entire compression work done is used to raise the fluid internal temperature and hence if enough work is done the saturated water temperature raises and finally reaches the superheated state.This Question Belongs to Chemical Engineering >> Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
