A(n) ______ turbine is used as a driver for high-differential pressure and high horsepower, and it can use different pressures at various inlet points to drive process equipment.

a. condensing
b. noncondensing
c. multistage
d. impulse


a. Correct. A condensing steam turbine is used as a driver for high-differential pressure and high horsepower. It can use different pressure steams at various inlet points to drive process equipment.
b. Incorrect. A non-condensing turbine is a turbine that exhausts steam at or above atmospheric pressure, allowing it to be further used in other equipment.
c. Incorrect. A multistage turbine is typically used as a driver for high-differential pressure, high-horsepower applications and extreme rotational requirements.
d. Incorrect. An impulse turbine is a device that uses directed flow of high velocity fluid against rotor blades to move the rotor.
