I didn't say anything of the kind, you clown.

Go back and re-read my posts. I said that a turbine will not be stopped
by opening a bypass valve, which is what you claimed was the summ &
total of how to reverse the Titanic's engines.


... He
seemd to think it was stopped by just closing a valve -but where he
thinks the steam from the main engines would go is anybodys guess.

Do tell.


While the inlet was subatmospheric,

In other words, under a vacuum... as I said.


.... the steam would still be passed to
the condensor whose pressures were even lower. I think it's also pretty
sloppy to call the inlet prssure to a turbine a vacuum. Don't you guys
traditionally use mmHg for near vacuum pressures?

It was you who is quoting a psia figure and confusing it with psi.
