Question 79Steam Plants - QMED

The correct answer is C) M. The item labeled M in the illustration SG-0011 represents a baffle plate. Baffle plates inside the steam drum help prevent surging of water within the drum as the vessel pitches. The baffle plate creates a more stable water level by restricting the movement of the water, reducing the risk of water carryover into the steam lines. The other options, C) C, L, and N, represent different components of the steam drum, such as the water level gauge, steam outlet, and water inlet, but they do not directly contribute to preventing water surging as the vessel moves.
