No confusion at all. The pressure is exactly as I stated it. It was
you who claimed that the oiperating pressure was 11 psi(a).



No, that's not what I said, which is why you're not producing another
exact quote.



Ok you asked for it:

Nav:
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?

DSK:
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. Or are you now going to claim
that the condenser ran at 3 psi ... even back then, hotwell pressure was
usually given in mmHg... hint hint... "

Kblam!
