I was assuming that the water was a saturated liquid at both states but because the process is isentropic, its actually a compressed liquid at state 2. I think...

In a certain thermodynamics textbook, specific work done by an isentropic compressor/pump in an ideal rankine cycles, is given by the following; Wpump = h2 - h1 Wpump = v(P2 - P1), where v = v1 When I carry out these two calculations between any two states, I get vastly different answers...
