🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash evaporator stages and pressures – which stage normally operates at the lower absolute pressure? • Purpose of the loop seal orifice – how it prevents vapor from freely passing between stages while letting distillate drain • Effect of a larger orifice – what happens to flow and pressure separation if the restriction is reduced?

💭 Think About

• First, recall which stage of a multi‑stage flash evaporator has the lowest absolute pressure and why that matters for vapor flow direction. • Think about what a loop seal does: if its orifice is eroded and becomes much larger, does it act more like a restriction or more like an open connection between the two stages? • Ask yourself: if two vessels are connected by a larger opening instead of a small restricted orifice, which pressure condition tends to dominate over time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which stage is normally at the lowest absolute pressure in a two‑stage flash evaporator. • Decide whether an enlarged orifice still effectively maintains a hydraulic seal between stages or if it behaves more like a pressure equalizing path. • Check which choice correctly states which pressure (first or second stage) would dominate if the separation between stages is degraded.
