25% to 50%
Question 9
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 capability
Question 10
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 units size
-
a function of the air compressor input
-
an indication of the units efficiency
-
important for proper compressor performance
Question 11
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
