🔍 Key Concepts

• Trace the steam flow path from water supply, through heating surfaces, to the turbine and back to the condenser • Identify which component is in the engine exhaust gas path and what it does to the boiler water • Differentiate between superheated steam, saturated steam, and condensation processes in a waste-heat system

💭 Think About

• Look at where component "1" sits in relation to the engine exhaust gas inlet and outlet—what medium is flowing around it, and what fluid is flowing inside it? • Follow the line leaving component "1": does it go toward the turbine inlet, the condenser, or back to the drum/boiler, and what state (steam or water) would you expect there? • Compare the shapes and connections of components "1" and "7": which one is clearly associated with cooling and which with heating?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that component 1 is directly exposed to engine exhaust gas on one side and boiler water/steam on the other • Verify which component in the diagram is connected to the turbine exhaust line—that one is the condenser, so do not confuse it with component 1 • Decide whether the steam leaving component 1 would most logically be saturated or superheated, based on whether there is a separate steam drum and/or superheater section shown
