The vessel to which you are assigned has main engines fitted with intake and exhaust systems as shown in the illustration. Assume that the vacuum between the air filter and the turbocharger blower inlet is 12" of water column (negative with respect to atmospheric pressure) when the engine is running at 50% of maximum, continuous rated load. What will happen to the suction vacuum when the load is increased to 100% of maximum continuous rated load? Illustration MO-0076
