Assuming that the turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine remains constant, which of the following operating parameter changes would be noted with an increase in the compressor inlet air temperature?

Question

Accepted Answer

The gas turbine power would drop due to reduced mass air flow.

Answer

The exhaust temperature would drop significantly.

Answer

The mass air flow through the gas turbine would increase.

Answer

The power turbine output increases due to hot inlet air requiring less fuel to be heated to the same turbine inlet temperature.
