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?

On the Titanic the turbine received LP steam from the main engines.


Duh. I told you that several posts ago, Navjax.


Wow I'm impressed! You are a veritable font of information on this
thread aren't you?

.... 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.


Yopu can wriggle as much as you want but your self serving posturing is
clearly exposed. The inlet to the turbine was not sub atmospheric.

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.

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?
