Gas Turbines Questions and Answers – Heat and Steam Rate – 1

This set of Steam and Gas Turbines Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Heat and Steam Rate – 1”.

1. Heat rate is used to define the efficiency of steam power plant.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Heat rate = (Input energy)/(output power).

2. Inverse of efficiency is called as ____________
a) steam rate
b) heat rate
c) heat utilized
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: From the formula, we can identify heat rate is the inverse of steam rate.

3. To increase plant efficiency heat rate is to be _________
a) increased
b) decreased
c) no relation with the heat rate
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As heat rate is inverse of plant efficiency, to increase plant efficiency heat rate is to be decreased.

4. What are the units of heat rate?
a) Kw/hr
b) No units
c) BTU/KWh
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Chemical energy input units are BTU and electrical energy output units are KWh. So units of heat rate are BTU/KWh.

5. Chemical energy of the fuel can be calculated by _________
a) Chemical energy of fuel = (Total fuel used) * (Higher heating value)
b) Chemical energy of fuel = (Calorific value) * (Fuel required for 1 Kcal of energy)
c) Cannot be determined theoretically
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Chemical energy of fuel = (Total fuel used) * (Higher heating value).
