Q:

Pressures of the cylinders in steam turbines are arranged according to the specific _______

A) temperature B) pressure
C) volume D) none of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) volume

Explanation: As steam moves from one cylinder to another cylinder its pressure keeps on decreasing and specific volume keeps increasing. Hence cylinders are arranged according to the increase of the specific volume of the working fluid.
