That's about all folks. I'm getting pretty tired of Navvie's BS.

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?


So, here you are quoting yourself making several wrong claims, with a
bwahaha and calling names besides.



DSK:
Actually, they are. The design (according to Harlan & Wolff, who
should know) called for inlet to the turbine at ~ 11 psia.


Know what this "~" means?


... 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... "


Yes, aren't you gald I told yiou that? But are you sure it's mmHg and
not inHg?


So you didn't get the hint, have no clue what Rick & I have been talking
about.

Now you pretend that you never claimed the exhaust and the condenser
aren't under vacuum, along with shirking all the other bogus statements
you've made.


No, I was the one who told you what the operating pressures were and
which you (of course) said was wrong. Your first post questioned whether
I knew how the turbine would be stopped (by closing a valve?). I told
you that the turbine would not be stopped by just closing a simple valve
(as that would also stop the main engines). So, this all started by my
saying a bypass valve would be opened, a point which you have finally
come to accept as _having_ to be true -despite your sneering and claims
to be an expert on the Titanic. In fact I've done nothing but post
factually correct statements and every one of them has been refuted and
attacked by you.

Perhaps you can explain why a self proclaimed marine propulsion engineer
with freshman thermodynamics and 20 years experience has never heard of
the term "steam dryness fraction" or recognise the equation for the
efficiency for a heat engine? I think I know why but I'd like to hear
your explanation.

If I "shirk" your questions it's because there are irrelevant to the
issue under discussion and anyway that's a very childish game (it's
called "I know something you don't").
