BThe feed water enters the device and vaporizes under vacuum conditions.
CThe feed water is cooled prior to being pumped into section "F".
DScale accumulates at position "E".
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) The feed water enters the device and vaporizes under vacuum conditions. In the illustration MO-0110, the space labeled "G" is the boiling chamber where the feed water enters and vaporizes under vacuum conditions. This is a key step in the operation of this type of steam-powered device, as the vacuum helps lower the boiling point of the water, allowing it to vaporize more efficiently. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) refers to the jacket water rather than the feed water, C) describes cooling the feed water before it enters the device, and D) is about scale accumulation in a different part of the device.
