_____________ calorimeter is normally used for measuring the dryness fraction of steam, when it is very low?

Correct answer: D. A combination of separating & throttling

  • A. Bucket
  • B. Throttling
  • C. Separating
  • D. A combination of separating & throttling

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.
