Question 152Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) Minimum air inlet temperature. In a gas turbine engine, the power output is directly proportional to the difference between the inlet air temperature and the turbine exhaust temperature. When the air inlet temperature is at its minimum, the temperature difference is maximized, allowing the gas turbine to produce 100% power. The other options are incorrect because: A) Maximum fuel flow does not necessarily lead to 100% power output, as the engine is limited by other factors such as air mass flow and combustion temperature. C) Maximum combustion temperature can actually decrease power output due to thermal limitations in the engine. D) Minimum air mass/weight flow would reduce the power output, not increase it to 100%.
