Generally the condenser in the power plants are designed to operate under vacuum. The specific volume of the steam is relatively higher than water. The steam coming from the exhaust of the turbine is cooled by the circulating water and the non combustibles are removed by the air removing equipment like ejectors or vacuum pumps. In case these equipment fail condensation of steam fails and it tries to occupy more volume. As the space in the condenser is limited it is pressurized and failure would happen.
More over once the condenser is pressurized the flow through the turbine is reduced considerably which leads to churning of steam in the turbine which ultimately heats the turbine blades leading to failure.
Hence a tripping of turbine is introduced which cuts of steam flow into the turbine and the condenser.
What else can I help you with?
Where is speed of sound the most in air or vacuum?
Air, given that sound can't travel in a vacuum.
How is the thermal energy different from temperature?
Thermal energy is energy given off by a substance due to a reaction.
What is the special name given to thermal radiation?
heat
What is the name given to energy with is being used?
thermal
When does Thermal radiation happen?
All the time. Thermal radiation is given off by anything above absolute zero.
The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
What energy was given off by the burning matchsticks?
it is thermal energy .
What term describe the absence of molecules in a given space?
Vacuum.
The more particles a substance has at a given temperature?
the more thermal energy it has
What type of energy is given off by wood burnig?
Thermal energy.
What causes your lungs to pull in air from the atmosphere?
By expanding them, you create a vacuum inside them; given a portal (your mouth, nose), the vacuum will pull the ambient air in, just as a vacuum cleaner pulls things inside by creating a vacuum.
What name are given to the two routes on Glasgow's subway?
