Resource summary

Question 1

Question
Early gas turbines were handicapped by
Answer
  • metal not being able to withstand high speed centrifugal forces
  • the inability to get enough air into the combustion chamber
  • metals not standing the high temperatures involved
  • their high operating speeds
  • their inadequate power cabability

Question 2

Question
The temperature to which the air can be raised at the turbine inlet is
Answer
  • an indication of a units power
  • directly related to the unit's size
  • a function of the air compressor input
  • an indication of the units efficiency
  • improper for proper compressor performance

Question 3

Question
The output power of a gas turbine is directly related to the
Answer
  • mass of gas passing though the turbine per second
  • temperate at the turbine inlet
  • mass of the unit
  • slippage between the turbine and compressor
  • turbine exhaust temperature

Question 4

Question
The low installation cost of a gas turbine is
Answer
  • due to cheap materials in the blades
  • due to short fuel lines
  • because no fuel pump is required
  • because no electrical wiring is required
  • because less auxillary equipment is needed

Question 5

Question
Some of the characteristics which make the gas turbine a better choice over other prime movers are 1. Low maintenance 2. Minimal cooling water 3. high thermal efficiency 4. rapid start-up and loading

Question 6

Question
The air side of a gas turbine regenerator is located
Answer
  • before the compressor
  • after the combustion chamber
  • between the turbine and the combustion chamber
  • between the turbine and atmosphere
  • downstream of the compressor

Question 7

Question
A gas turbine performs most effectively if
Answer
  • lube oil is of the proper viscosity
  • cooling water temperature is kept low
  • ambient air temperature is high
  • ambient air temperature is low
  • loaded immediately after starting

Question 8

Question
A combined steam and gas turbine arrangement can be termed
Answer
  • an ideal system
  • a cogeneration system
  • a once through system

Question 9

Question
The purpose of a regenerator is
Answer

Question 12

Question
Disadvantages of a closed cycle gas turbine include: 1. higher initial cost 2. increased cooling water requirements 3. turbine blade fouling 4. they require more creep resistant material than open cycle turbines
Answer
  • 1,2
  • 2,3,4
  • 1,2,4
  • 1,2,3
