Gas Turbine Engineering Quiz

Which component of a gas turbine compresses incoming air before combustion?

• Turbine

• Combustion Chamber

• Compressor

• Exhaust

What is the main function of the combustion chamber in a gas turbine?

• Cool down the hot gases

• Mix air with water

• Mix and burn fuel with compressed air

• Convert mechanical energy to electrical energy

Which part of the gas turbine extracts energy from high-pressure gases?

• Gearbox

• Compressor

• Exhaust

• Turbine

In an axial compressor, the air flows:

• Perpendicular to the shaft

• Radially outward

• Along the axis of rotation

• In a circular path

A centrifugal compressor increases pressure by:

• Expanding gas

• Compressing air in axial direction

• Using centrifugal force via a rotating impeller

• Injecting steam

What is the role of the exhaust system in a gas turbine?

• Injects air into the turbine

• Discharges hot gases

• Mixes fuel and air

• Controls shaft speed

Which of the following is used to drive auxiliary components in a gas turbine?

• Exhaust

• Turbine blades

• Accessory Gearbox

• Compressor vane

What is the function of the control system in a gas turbine?

• Filters air

• Removes exhaust gases

• Regulates fuel, speed, and temperature

• Compresses air

Why is a cooling system necessary in gas turbines?

• To increase combustion

• To prevent damage from high temperatures

• To filter fuel

• To reduce noise

Which component directly drives the compressor in a gas turbine system?

• Control system
