In a steam power plant, the function of a condenser is__________?
Correct answer: D. all of the above
- A. to maintain pressure below atmospheric to increase work output from the primemover
- B. to receive large volumes of steam exhausted from steam prime mover
- C. to condense large volumes of steam to water which may be used again in boiler
- D. all of the above
Explanation
A condenser receives turbine exhaust steam, maintains a vacuum to increase turbine work, and converts the steam back into reusable feedwater. Since all three statements describe its functions, option D follows.
