6. Power produced depends on the _________ in gas turbines.
a) volume
b) mass flow
c) volume & mass flow
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As gas turbines works on brayton cycle when mass flow changes the net power produced also changes.

7. ___________ also plays a major role in gas turbine performance.
a) Inlet air density
b) Inlet air humidity
c) Inlet air density & humidity
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Gas turbine performance depends on inlet air density and environmental conditions.

8. Anything that changes density __________ gas turbine performance.
a) can not effect
b) can effect
c) depends
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: When density is changed its mass flow rates is changed and that’s how gas turbine performance is changed.

9. The air density is a function of ambient temperature.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When density is increased its volume is decreased and then its temperature also decreases when pressure is constant. So air density is a function of ambient temperature.

10. Air density is a function of _________
a) Ambient temperature
b) Humidity
c) Pressure
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Air density is the function of humidity, ambient temperature and pressure.
