I know the difference between a vaccumm and and 9 psi! The inlet to the
turbines was not a vacuum Doug!

Bwhahahhahahaha

Do you know the difference between

psi

and

psia

???

Take a look at any standard marine propulsion engineering text, turn to
the chapter on main propulsion condensers, see if you can find one that
runs at positive pressure.

If you don't believe me, try asking at

http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org...919/91698.html

Or you could dig up a copy of "The Shipbuilder" magazine from 1911 which
discussed the Titanic's engineering plant in some detail.

Here's a clue- check the designed pressure drop across the turbine...
then look at some specs on operating main condensers...

Now as a stream plan expert can you tell us why did they not state the
inlet pressure in mmHg? What is vaccum normally measured in?

I still say the inlet pressure was 9psi! Care to admit I was right?

You can say whatever you like.

...Care to admit I was right?

Why? You're not. Like I said... go and ask somebody else, or look it up
yourself. I've given you plenty of references if you can't possibly
believe my answers.
