🔍 Key Concepts

• Axial-flow compressor construction in gas turbines • Difference between split casing and a single-piece (barrel) casing • How maintenance and inspection are performed on large marine machinery

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when engineers need to access the compressor blades and stators—what kind of casing design helps with that? • Which option most directly reflects the practical day‑to‑day benefit for shipboard engineers working on the turbine? • Consider whether a split line in a casing is usually about strength, cost, or accessibility.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice focuses on access for maintenance/inspection, not just general simplicity or cost • Ask yourself: Does splitting a casing usually make it stronger or does it introduce more flanged joints and bolts? • Consider which option best matches the typical goal of design changes in large compressors: reduce downtime and make overhauls easier.
