6. When at idle conditions Gas Turbine Engines use more fuel when compared to Reciprocating engines.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Though the conditions may be idle but to run the turbine compressor to work, compressor takes as much as the two thirds of the total power produced from combustion and remaining one third is used for power output. So during Idle conditions power output may not be required but compressor uses its 2/3 of energy, whereas reciprocating engines doesn’t require any compressors equipped separately and hence less fuel will be burnt during idle time when compared to Gas turbines.

7. In Gas Turbines Compressors raise the pressure of air by _______ times.
a) 25
b) 15
c) 30
d) 10
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Compressor work is to raise the pressure of the air at constant volume. In gas turbines, it raises by a factor of 30.

8. In Gas Turbines, Turbine is used to convert _________
a) Kinetic energy to Rotational energy
b) Potential energy of the gases to Rotational energy
c) Heat energy of the gases to Rotational energy
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Highly pressurized gas from compressor burns the fuel injected into combustor and those hot gases released move with high velocity towards turbine which rotates the turbine.

9. Hallow perforated piece of heavy metal inside the combustor is called as _________
a) Fuel injector
b) Frame holder
c) Burner
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As gas with high pressure enters the combustor with high velocities, for continuous combustion, the combustor in such situations require the frame to be held and therefore frame holder is used.

10. Turbine and Output shaft rotate freely without any connection to the engine.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Turbine and output shaft are completely stand alone in gas turbine.
