Assuming that the turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine engine remains constant, which of the following operating parameter changes would be noted with an increase in the compressor inlet air temperature? |
A) The mass air flow through the gas turbine would increase. |
B) The power turbine output increases due to hot inlet air requiring less fuel to be heated to the same turbine inlet temperature. |
C) The exhaust temperature would drop significantly. |
D) The gas turbine power would drop due to reduced mass air flow. |
