AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) desuperheater. A desuperheater is a device used to reduce the temperature of superheated steam. The illustration SG-0013 shows a device that is consistent with the characteristics and function of a desuperheater. Desuperheaters are commonly used in steam-powered systems, such as those found on many commercial and military vessels, to control the temperature of the steam before it enters other components. The other options (deaerator, eductor, and air ejector) are not accurate descriptions of the device shown in the illustration, as they have different functions and designs that do not match the characteristics depicted.
