🔍 Key Concepts

• Focus on the thermal efficiency row in the table and compare values for the simple cycle, recuperated, and intercooled‑recuperated (ICR) cycles. • Understand what DP (design point) usually represents for a gas turbine – think about what load condition that corresponds to. • Recall how recuperation and intercooling generally affect gas turbine efficiency at different loads compared to a simple cycle.

💭 Think About

• Looking only at the data actually provided in the illustration, which operating condition is clearly represented: any load, low load, partial load, or full (design) load? • At that condition, which cycle has the highest thermal efficiency according to the numbers in the table, and how does that compare to what each choice is claiming? • Which answer choices make claims about loads or conditions that are NOT directly supported by the single set of values shown in the illustration?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully read the heading: confirm that the values shown are "Value at DP" and think about what that implies about the load condition. • Compare the numerical thermal efficiency for each cycle (SC, recuperated, ICR) and note which is greater or smaller at this point. • Eliminate any choice that makes a broad statement about "any load", "low load", or "partial load" if you cannot back it up using the specific data shown in the table.

Question 1 of 20

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

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

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

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.

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