"A claming section" before the liquid flows into the downcomer is provided to__________________?
Correct answer: C. Permit release of entrained vapour in the liquid
- A. Ensure better vapour-liquid contact
- B. Reduce the discharge fluctuation
- C. Permit release of entrained vapour in the liquid
- D. Cool the liquid before it flows down
Explanation
A calming section gives entrained vapour bubbles time and space to disengage from the liquid before the liquid enters the downcomer. This prevents vapour from being carried into the tray liquid seal and disturbing downflow.
