Question 458General Subjects - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) The dew point is taken at the ventilation exhaust trunk. The dew point is measured at the ventilation exhaust trunk because this is the location where the air leaving the cargo hold will be sampled. The air in the cargo hold will have absorbed moisture from the cargo, and the dew point of the exhaust air will be representative of the average dew point conditions within the cargo hold. Measuring the dew point at the exhaust trunk provides an accurate assessment of the overall moisture levels in the cargo hold, which is important for ensuring proper ventilation and preventing cargo damage. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the best location to measure the average cargo hold dew point. Measuring at the bottom of the hold or a central location may not capture the overall conditions, while the supply trunk would not reflect the air that has absorbed moisture from the cargo.
