Based on speed, which of the following types of turbines is slower?
30. Based on speed, which of the following types of turbines is slower?
- Heavy-frame industrial gas turbines
- Aeroderivative gas turbines
- Both A and B
- None
Answer: A) Heavy-frame industrial gas turbines
Explanation:
Heavy-frame industrial gas turbines have a slower rotational speed than aero-derivative gas turbines because they are intended for large-scale industrial applications, and if the slower rotational speed is present, larger turbine components such as the rotor and blades can be used.
