Steam Turbines Questions and Answers – Hydrogen Seal Rings in Turbine Generator

This set of Steam and Gas Turbines Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Hydrogen Seal Rings in Turbine Generator”.

1. Hydrogen seal rings are used to prevent _______ losses.
a) Pressure
b) Temperature
c) Volume
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Hydrogen seal rings are used to prevent pressure losses. These rings seal the cylinders so that no pressure and temperature loss takes place.

2. _________ oil flow can be controlled by using hydrogen rings.
a) Low
b) Excessive
c) Incomplete
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Hydrogen rings control excessive oil flow.Excessive oil flow consumes more heat and increases the heat loss.

3. Hydrogen rings are used to control _______ consumption in gas turbine.
a) Fuel
b) Oxygen
c) Hydrogen
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Hydrogen rings are used to control hydrogen consumption in gas turbine. Hydrogen is used as coolant in gas turbine, Excessive usage of coolant leads to low efficiency.

4. When hydrogen consumption is __________ its efficiency is decreased in turbo generators.
a) increased
b) decreased
c) constant
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Hydrogen consumption is inversely proportional to efficiency in turbo generators. As hydrogen is used as the coolant and when more amount of coolant is used most heat is lost and hence efficiency is decreased.

5. _________ is used as coolant in turbo generators.
a) Oxygen
b) Hydrogen
c) Fuel
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Hydrogen is used as coolant in turbo generators. Compared to the other coolants available for gas turbines hydrogen is much cheaper.
