Consider the following statements about a blowdown tunnel:

1. It runs for a limited time from a charged reservoir.

2. Conditions drift as the reservoir empties.

3. It costs more to build than a continuous tunnel of the same performance.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct and describe both the appeal and the drawback. The third is reversed: the low capital cost is precisely why blowdown facilities are so widespread, since a continuous tunnel of the same Mach and Reynolds capability would be far more expensive.
