Hello - fundamental thermo question which is puzzling me... It concerns a multiple effect evaporator with condenser. Hot vapour is water, cooling medium is water. My question stems from the following: When the flow of cooling water to the condenser is increased, the pressure in the condenser...

Nugatory & davenn - thank you, I will sleep well tonight!

The domestic electrical wiring is making sense. Excuse my ignorance, but I must ask, how is the circuit completed from the generator at the power station? Is there not current flowing on the left of the transformer?

I see. Then I assume the transformer will have a return circuit to the power station, on the opposite winding to the step down winding - as indicated here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Transformer_flux.gif?

Many thanks for welcome and responses. Where is the neutral wire connected? i.e. does this then connect to a conductor which feeds back to the power station generator?

I am sure this is a set of naieve question first of all. However i'd appreciate someone taking the time to enlighten me, as my mind is boggled by this and has been for some days now. I have watched numerous videos on the subject of electricity but am still somewhat confused. My issue is taking...
