🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a cyclone steam separator in a boiler drum • How centrifugal force acts on heavier vs lighter phases in a rotating mixture • Movement of steam vs water when rotation is applied

💭 Think About

• When a steam/water mixture is spun, which component (steam or water) tends to move outward and why? • Does a separator normally increase or decrease circulation in the boiler, and what is its main purpose? • Think about which phase is heavier: does centrifugal force throw the heavier or lighter phase to the outside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component is denser (heavier): water or steam. • Match the correct direction of movement: which is driven outward and which moves inward/upward in a cyclone separator. • Eliminate any choice that conflicts with the basic goal of separation: dry steam going to the system and water returning to the boiler.

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements represents one operational characteristic of a cyclone steam separator?

Unit reduces the circulation of the steam and water mixture in the boiler.

Unit imparts a rotational motion to the steam and water mixture.

Steam is forced to the outer side of the separator by centrifugal force.

Water is forced upward by centrifugal force.
