Q1:

The delivery pressure of boiler feed water pump compared to the boiler steam pressure is

A same

B slightly less

C slightly more

D much more

ANS:C - slightly more

The delivery pressure of a boiler feed water pump is typically slightly more than the boiler steam pressure. This is necessary to ensure that water is effectively pushed into the boiler against the pressure of the steam within it. The slight pressure difference ensures a continuous and reliable flow of feedwater into the boiler to maintain the desired water level and steam production. Therefore, the correct option is: slightly more
