Read the following statements: I. Diesel power plant is generally used as base load plant. II. Gas turbine power plant is used as peak load plant.

Read the following statements: I. Diesel power plant is generally used as base load plant. II. Gas turbine power plant is used as peak load plant. Correct Answer Only II is correct

To supply base load the operation cost should be minimum, but Diesel power plant has very high operating cost. Diesel power plants are best suitable to supply peak loads. Gas turbine can be started in less time and so it is suitable to supply peak loads.

In a newly developed innovative idea brought up by CSIR in India, gas turbine exhaust gas are being utilized to convert feedwater into steam. Certain data of the experiment are as follows: mass flow rate of exhaust gas = 40 kg/hr, enthalpy of exhaust gas at the time of their exit from gas turbine is 600 kJ/kg, steam turbine output as measured by brake dynamometer = 60 hp-sec, thermal efficiency of steam power plant is 0.25, efficiency of exhaust gas in converting feedwater into steam is taken as 50%. Find the enthalpy of exhaust gas remaining after they generate steam from feedwater?

Consider the following statements in connection with hydraulic turbines: 1. The Kaplan turbine is a radial flow turbine in which the guide vane angles as well as the runner vane angles are adjustable. 2. Francis and Kaplan turbines are provided with draft tubes which carry water from exit of runner to tail water to increase the gross head across the turbine. 3. The parts of turbines susceptible to cavitation are the guide vanes and runner vanes – drastically reducing the turbine efficiency. 4. The specific speed of a 4-jet Pelton turbine will be 28 if the specific speed of a single-jet Pelton turbine is 14. Which of the above statements are correct?
