Each compressor is isentropic 1 and has the same pressure


Humid air at 40?C and a relative humidity of 80% is compressed in a two stage compressor from 100kPa to 2500kPa. Each compressor is isentropic 1 and has the same pressure ratio and in between the fluid is cooled in an intercooler to the inlet temperature.

Will the water vapor condense in this device? Where?

What is the relative humidity at the exit of the second compressor? Draw this process for the water on a T-s diagram.
