70% to passThe acronym VSV represents which of the following?
AVariable Speed Valve.
BVibration Stator Vanes.
CVariable Stator Vane.
DVibration Shutdown Valve.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Variable Stator Vane. The acronym VSV refers to the Variable Stator Vane, which is a component found in gas turbine engines commonly used in marine applications, including those on U.S. Coast Guard vessels. The variable stator vanes are adjustable guide vanes that control the flow of air entering the turbine section of the engine, allowing for more efficient operation across different load conditions. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the VSV acronym in the context of marine engineering and U.S. Coast Guard operations.
