Air accumulated in the inter condenser of the air ejector assembly is discharged directly to the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) after condenser.
The air accumulated in the inter condenser of the air ejector assembly is discharged directly to the after condenser, which is the correct part of the system where this air is vented. The air ejector assembly is used to remove air and non-condensable gases from the main condenser, and the inter condenser is a component within this assembly. The air removed from the main condenser is then discharged to the after condenser, rather than being vented directly to the atmosphere or other parts of the system.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) high-pressure turbine is not the correct destination for the air from the air ejector; C) main condenser is where the air is being removed from, not where it is discharged; and D) atmosphere is not the proper location for venting the air, as it should be discharged to the after condenser.
