| Which of the following statements about the intercooled-recuperated gas turbine cycle is true? Refer to Illustration GT-0031 |
| A) The intercooler serves to increase the required high-pressure compressor power while the recuperator utilizes waste heat form the exhaust to increase turbine inlet temperature. |
| B) The intercooler serves to increase the required high-pressure compressor power while the recuperator utilizes waste heat form the exhaust to decrease turbine inlet temperature. |
| C) The intercooler serves to reduce the required high-pressure compressor power while the recuperator utilizes waste heat form the exhaust to decrease turbine inlet temperature. |
| D) The intercooler serves to reduce the required high-pressure compressor power while the recuperator utilizes waste heat form the exhaust to decrease required fuel to achieve the turbine inlet temperature. |
