Question 1

Question
In the combustors of a gas turbine, how much air usually bypasses the combustion chambers:
Answer
  • 90%
  • 80%
  • 60%
  • 50%
  • 20%

Question 2

Question
The disadvantages of using a regenerator in a gas turbine cycle are: 1. Heating surfaces become coated and must be cleaned 2. Increased capital costs 3. It produces a pressure drop through the system 4. The temperature drop through the system will be reduced
Answer
  • 2,3
  • 1,2,4
  • 1,3,4
  • 2,3,4
  • 1,2,3,4

Question 3

Question
Maximum power achieved by a gas turbine as a function of
Answer
  • The number of turbine stops and starts every year
  • The number of times base load power output is exceeded
  • The number of times peak load is obtained in a year
  • The number of times operational limits are exceeded
  • Life expectancy of hot gas components

Question 4

Question
The regenerator of a gas turbine cycle is a:
Answer
  • second combustor
  • heat exchanger
  • Vessel used to transfer heat from the exhaust gas to the working fluid before compression occurs
  • Increase the pressure of the working fluid in the system
  • Increase the temperature of the combustor's outlet

Question 5

Question
The gas turbine system is ideal:
Answer
  • For large generator systems
  • To be used over a steam turbine
  • To be used for unmanned and remote locations
  • For all applications of a process plant
  • For large gas plant

Question 6

Question
The advantages of a dual shaft gas turbine arrangement are: 1. Greater flexibility 2. It is cheaper 3. Smaller starting motors may be used 4. High pressures and temperatures may be obtained
Answer
  • 1,2
  • 1,3
  • 2,3
  • 2,4
  • 1,4

Question 7

Question
Control of a gas turbine is accomplished by:
Answer
  • Varying the loading station
  • The power turbine all speed governor
  • Varying load on the generator
  • Varying the fuel flow
  • Controlling the shaft speed

Question 8

Question
The turbine exit gas temperatures will be a maximum of:
Answer
  • 600 deg C
  • 700 deg C
  • 750 deg C
  • 800 deg C
  • 850 deg C

Question 9

Question
Reducing gears are used with gas turbines to:
Answer
  • Control the speed of the power turbine
  • Drive slower lube oil pumps
  • Reduce turbine speed before shutdown
  • Achieve desired speed of the load
  • Reduce horsepower requirements

Question 10

Question
A closed cycle gas turbine system
Answer
  • Does not use a starting motor
  • Has lower pressure used in system
  • Will use the same working fluid over again
  • Must use a cooler before the regeneration
  • Has a lower initial cost than that of the open cycle gas turbine
