🔍 Key Concepts

• Feedwater system vs. steam drum pressure in a boiler • How water flows from low pressure to high pressure or vice versa • What must happen physically for water to enter the boiler drum when it is already under steam pressure

💭 Think About

• Think about which part of the system already has high pressure: the steam drum or the feedwater line. For water to move into the drum, which must be higher? • Ask yourself: what is the main job of the feedwater pump in relation to the drum pressure? • Which choice directly relates to overcoming the existing steam pressure inside the boiler, rather than a secondary effect like air leakage or water hammer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a function that directly requires higher pressure than the boiler drum pressure. • Eliminate any answers that deal with problems (like air leakage or water hammer) that are not primarily solved by simply making feedwater pressure higher than drum pressure. • Focus on the basic rule: fluids naturally flow from higher pressure to lower pressure — which option reflects that principle?
