In a surface condenser if air is removed, there is___________?

Correct answer: A. fall in absolute pressure maintained in condenser

  • A. fall in absolute pressure maintained in condenser
  • B. rise in absolute pressure maintained in condenser
  • C. no change in absolute pressure in the condenser
  • D. rise in temperature of condensed steam

Explanation

Air entering a condenser raises its partial pressure and opposes condensation; removing it lowers the total absolute pressure and improves the vacuum. The condensed-steam temperature correspondingly tends to fall rather than rise.
