AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) dry steam from the steam and water mixture. The purpose of the separating nozzle in the accumulator of a water-tube, coil-type steam generator is to separate the dry steam from the steam and water mixture. This ensures that only dry, high-quality steam is delivered to the steam system, preventing moisture carryover which could damage downstream components. The other options are incorrect because: B) The accumulator is not involved in separating condensate from feed water. C) The separating nozzle does not separate superheated steam from saturated steam. D) The accumulator does not separate sludge accumulations from feed water.
