_____________ calorimeter is normally used for measuring the dryness fraction of steam, when it is very low?
Correct answer: A. A combination of separating & throttling
- A. A combination of separating & throttling
- B. Throttling
- C. Separating
- D. Bucket
Explanation
A separating calorimeter removes entrained water before the steam is tested, making it suitable for wet steam with a very low dryness fraction. For extremely wet steam, the separating and throttling calorimeters are used together for better accuracy.
