The term used to describe a gas turbine in which air drawn from the atmosphere passes through the engine only once is which of the following?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gas turbine cycles and how the working fluid (air) moves through the system • Difference between open and closed thermodynamic cycles • Meaning of air passing through the engine only once vs being recirculated

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the air comes from the atmosphere and is exhausted back to the atmosphere without being reused, what type of cycle does that describe? • Which option names a cycle where the working fluid is recirculated and reused instead of discharged? Eliminate that one. • Look for the choice that is standard thermodynamic terminology, and be cautious of terms that sound made‑up or nonstandard.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which cycle uses fresh air in, exhaust out with no recirculation. • Identify which choice clearly means the working fluid is contained and reused within the system — that one does NOT match “passes through only once.” • Check for any non-standard terminology among the options and treat it with suspicion.
