Please tell me what ships you've steamed where the engine could be
stopped by "opening a steam bypass valve." Also please tell me where
the steam is bypassed to... are you suggesting dumping main steam
directly into the condenser?

Duh. I told you that several posts ago, Navjax.
.... To
stop it separate from the main engines, a valve which I call a "steam
bypass valve" was opened to bypass the turbine and allow the LP steam
back to the condenser.
The inlet to the central turbine was actually under a slight vacuum. It
wouldn't be "LP steam" it was exhaust from the wing engines. And in
order to *stop* the central turbine, it's steam inlet would have to be shut.
Then what happens?
hint- consider the relationship between the seawater inlet temp to the
condenser (termed "injection") and the condensing pressure of steam
going into the condenser.
It is strange that you claimed such expertise on the Titanic machinery
but did not know this.
Strange that you are now repeating my posts, ignoring proper
terminology, and basically showing total ignorance of steam propulsion
engineering, while insisting that somehow I'm the one that's wrong.
Actually, it's more funny than strange, and also par for the course.
