Based on the data shown in the illustration, which statement of the following is correct? See illustration GT-0030.

Question

Accepted Answer

The recuperated and intercooled-recuperated cycles gas turbines have the highest efficiency as compared to simple cycle gas turbines when operating at any load.

Answer

The simple cycle gas turbine cycle has the highest efficiency as compared to recuperated and intercooled-recuperated cycles when operating at full load.

Answer

There is no significant difference between the efficiencies of simple cycle gas turbine cycle and recuperated and intercooled-recuperated cycles when operating at low load.

Answer

The simple cycle gas turbine cycle has approximately the same efficiency as compared to recuperated and intercooled-recuperated cycles when operating at partial load.
