Compressors, Gas Dynamics and Gas Turbines - Section 1 (2)

High air-fuel ratio in gas turbines

An aftercooler is used to

The maximum combustion pressure in gas turbine is __________ as compared to I.C. engine.

Only rocket engines can be propelled to space because

Intercooling in compressors results in saving of power in compressing given volume of air to a given pressure.

The compression ratio in a gas turbine is

The actual volume of air delivered by a compressor, When reduced to the normal temperature and pressure conditions is called compressor capacity.

When the temperature of air leaving the intercooler, in a two stage compression with intercooler, is __________ the original atmospheric air temperature, then the intercooling is known as perfect or complete intercooling.
