Question 65Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) Annular gap. The annular gap is the most common type of spark igniter used on a gas turbine engine. This is because the annular gap design provides a reliable and efficient means of igniting the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The annular gap consists of a circular arrangement of electrodes that create a uniform spark across the entire circumference of the combustion chamber, ensuring complete and consistent ignition. The other options, such as resistive gap, delayed gap, and suppression gap, are not as commonly used in gas turbine engines due to their less reliable or efficient ignition characteristics compared to the annular gap design.
