申論題

五、請將下列英文譯成中文。（20 分） To ensure trouble-free operation of water-tube boilers the feed water must be of high quality with a minimal solid content and an absence of dissolved gases. Solids are deposited on the inside surfaces of steam generating tubes, as the water boils off, and the scale so formed causes overheating and failure. Dissolved gases tend to promote corrosion. Distilled water used as boiler feed has a great affinity for gases in the atmosphere. Chemical treatment is aimed at preventing corrosion problems but the boiler closed feed system must play its part in maintaining minimal contact between feed water and air at every stage and in promoting the dissociation and removal of any air or other gases.
