🔍 Key Concepts

• Steam expansion in turbines and where condensation (moisture) typically forms • Purpose of moisture shields in protecting turbine blading from water droplet erosion • Difference between high‑pressure inlet areas and low‑pressure exhaust/last-stage areas of a turbine

💭 Think About

• In a main propulsion steam turbine, at what point in the steam path is the steam most likely to lose heat and form water droplets? Early stages or later stages? • Ask yourself: are moisture shields more likely to be needed where steam is dry and superheated, or where it has expanded and cooled significantly? • Which option places the shields where they can intercept moisture before it impacts critical blading or adjacent turbine elements?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where steam quality decreases (more moisture) in the turbine train—near the inlet or near the exhaust/last stages • Eliminate choices that describe locations where steam is typically superheated and dry (less need for moisture shields) • Check which choice best represents a location after most of the expansion work has been done, where erosion from moisture would be most severe
