What is the function of device "C" shown in the illustration? Illustration MO-0110
β’ Trace the vapor flow paths shown by the dashed lines from sections "G" and "F" and note where they pass relative to device "C". β’ Consider the purpose of a division plate or baffle between two stages in a distilling/evaporator unit (pressure, flow direction, phase separation). β’ Compare what components usually remove moisture from vapor (their shapes and locations) versus what components control vapor production (heating/temperature-related).
β’ Look at how the dashed red and green flow arrows interact with device "C". Does "C" seem to be something vapors pass through, around, or does it simply separate spaces? β’ Ask which section ("F" or "G") device "C" is actually in. Does its location match something that would access a compartment, control boiling, dry vapor, or change pressure between stages? β’ Think about a two-stage distiller: why might you want a pressure difference between the upper and lower stages, and what kind of structural feature would create that difference?
β’ Verify whether vapors physically contact or pass through device "C" (would be necessary for moisture removal or vapor control). β’ Check if device "C" has any moving parts, valves, or openings that would allow access or active control, or if it is a fixed plate or wall. β’ Confirm whether device "C" lies exactly between sections "F" and "G", acting as a separator, and what effect that has on pressure and flow.
