8. Gas turbines has _________ pressure high volume fuel pumps.
a) high
b) low
c) medium
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Gas turbines has low pressure and high volume fuel pumps. In gas turbines pressure energy in the working fluid is used to increase volume.

9. In some gas turbines cavitations are _______ by using fuel cooled oil cooler.
a) removed
b) increased
c) cavitations are not caused due to oil cooler
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In fuel cooled oil cooler it heats the fuel to high temperature so that the water droplets present in the fuel gets evaporated and hence prevents the cavitation.
