Q

In which of the following types of condensers would you find the cooling water passing through tubes with the turbo generator exhaust steam directed around the outside of the tubes?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between surface condensers and jet/barometric condensers • Where the steam flows versus where the cooling water flows in tube-type condensers • How mixing vs non-mixing of steam and cooling water affects condenser design

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which condenser type do steam and cooling water remain completely separate, with only metal between them? • Which designs involve the steam being directly mixed with the cooling water in a chamber instead of being kept outside tubes? • Think about which type is commonly used with turbine or turbo generator exhausts on ships and why.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which condenser type is non-contact (no mixing) between steam and cooling water. • Verify which option specifically uses tubes for the cooling water rather than for the steam. • Eliminate any condenser types known for direct-contact operation where steam and water mix.
