Question 278Motor Plants - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B. When the liquid solenoid valve is energized, the liquid enters via port "X" into the opening space. This creates a net resultant force that causes the piston slide to move down, initiating the sludge discharge cycle. Option A is incorrect because the sliding bowl bottom does not move upwards during this stage of the cycle. Option C is incorrect because the liquid does not exit through port "S" at this point. Option D is incorrect because the liquid is not trapped in space "J"; instead, it is being used to create the downward force on the piston slide.
