Q

Steam baffles are installed in the steam drum of a water-tube boiler to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of the steam drum in a water-tube boiler (what happens to steam and water inside it) • Carryover – what it means when water or moisture goes out with the steam • Role of baffles in separating or redirecting flow inside a drum or tank

💭 Think About

• Think about what problem would occur if steam leaving the drum contains too much water, and which option directly relates to solving that problem. • Ask yourself: are baffles normally used to speed things up, slow things down, or change direction/separate phases? • Consider which choice actually happens in the steam drum, versus what equipment outside or downstream of the drum would handle.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is directly related to improving steam quality inside the drum. • Check which choices sound more like functions of other components (e.g., desuperheaters, external piping) rather than the internal parts of a steam drum. • Be sure the option you pick is focused on separating steam from water rather than just changing velocity.
