Wot no bypass valve? Where did the steam go Doug -into the vacuum at
the tubine inlet? Bwhahahahhahaha!! You are such a clown. The inlet
pressure was 9psi -it's on all the web sites describing the
engineering -or are they wrong too?


Actually, they are. The design (according to Harlan & Wolff, who should
know) called for inlet to the turbine at ~ 11 psia. So, if you grant
them 9psi *a* then they're not far wrong.


Holy backpedal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bwhahahhahaha
