Question 136Steam Plants - QMED

The correct answer is D) 67.0 psig. The intermediate pressure bleed steam system is used to supply steam at approximately 67.0 psig. This is a typical pressure for intermediate pressure bleed steam, which is extracted from the steam turbine at an intermediate stage and used for various heating and other purposes on the ship. The other answer choices are incorrect because 13.6 psia and 13.6 psig are too low for an intermediate pressure steam system, while 35.0 psig is generally too low for this application.
