Water vapor enters a compressor at 35 kPa and 160°C and leaves at 300 kPa with the same specific entropy as at the inlet. What are the temperature and the specific enthalpy of water at the compressor exit?

**Figure P7–48 Explanation:**

The figure depicts a steam compressor with water vapor entering the compressor at a pressure of 35 kPa and a temperature of 160°C. The water vapor exits the compressor at a higher pressure of 300 kPa. The diagram illustrates the entry and exit points of the steam through a conical compressor and indicates the work output (\( \dot{W}_{\text{out}} \)) from the system. The diagram also emphasizes that the process maintains the same specific entropy from inlet to outlet.
