Question 91General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passA high reading is only indicated at the salinity cells labeled "W" and "6" shown in the illustration. This would be the probable result of _______________. Illustration GS-0053
Aa tube leak in item 'IV', which contributes to a surging absolute pressure in "III"
Bcarryover from "III"
Ca faulty cell at location "6" and a tube leak in item "I"
Derosion of item "3" or the valve opened too wide if used
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) a faulty cell at location "6" and a tube leak in item "I". This is the correct answer because a faulty salinity cell at location "6" would indicate a high reading, and a tube leak in item "I" could contribute to carryover from the previous stage (item "III"), also resulting in a high reading at the "W" location. The other answer choices do not fully explain the high readings observed only at the "W" and "6" locations, as they involve issues with other components that would likely impact other parts of the system as well.
