With regard to fresh water generators, what statement concerning brine is true?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Brine is the unevaporated sea water of a fresh water generator as the result of distillation.
In a fresh water generator, seawater is evaporated through distillation, and the unevaporated portion is the brine. The brine is the concentrated salt solution that remains after the fresh water has been extracted through the distillation process. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the role of brine in a fresh water generator.
