🔍 Key Concepts

• Main condenser function in a marine steam plant • Relationship between vacuum level and turbine efficiency • Difference between latent heat and sensible heat in steam

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the primary purpose of keeping a high vacuum in the main condenser in relation to the steam cycle efficiency? • How does a higher vacuum affect the pressure at which steam leaves the turbine, and what does that mean for energy extracted from the steam? • Which choice describes the overall energy use in the cycle, rather than just a basic physical process like condensation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between condensing steam (change of state) and energy recovery (how much work you get out of the steam before it is condensed). • Verify which answer speaks to maximizing overall turbine work/efficiency, not just the heat transfer inside the condenser itself. • Check that the option you pick reflects the effect of lowering exhaust pressure on how much energy the turbine can convert to work.
