Motor.
Correct Answer
D. Motor.Explanation
A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It uses electromagnetic principles to generate a rotating motion, which can be used to power various machines and equipment. Unlike a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, a motor performs the opposite function. A converter is a broad term that can refer to various devices used to convert one form of energy into another, but it is not specifically designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. An inverter, on the other hand, is used to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), and it does not directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is motor.Rate this question:

By adjusting the rate, the engine can be optimized for different operating conditions, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. The mechanical linkage, actuator diaphragm, and actuator return spring may play a role in the overall operation of the load control valve, but they do not directly control the time required to open it.Rate this question:

(420) If the gas turbine compressor (GTC) load control butterfly valve opens too slowly or too quickly, what is the most probable cause of the malfunction?
- A.
Excessive exhaust gas temperature.
- B.
Maladjusted rate adjustment screw.
- C.
Ruptured actuator diaphragm.
- D.
Defective relief valve.
Correct Answer
B. Maladjusted rate adjustment screw.Explanation
If the gas turbine compressor (GTC) load control butterfly valve opens too slowly or too quickly, the most probable cause of the malfunction is a maladjusted rate adjustment screw. This screw controls the rate at which the valve opens and closes, so if it is not properly adjusted, it can result in the valve opening too slowly or too quickly. This can lead to inefficiencies in the turbine's operation and affect its performance.Rate this question:

(421) During a preoperational inspection of a gas turbine engine, you check the intake and exhaust for
- A.
Leakage.
- B.
Excess heat.
- C.
Hairline cracks.
- D.
Foreign objects.
Correct Answer
D. Foreign objects.Explanation
During a preoperational inspection of a gas turbine engine, it is important to check the intake and exhaust for foreign objects. This is because foreign objects, such as debris or particles, can obstruct the airflow and cause damage to the engine. Checking for leakage, excess heat, and hairline cracks are also important aspects of the inspection, but in this case, the focus is specifically on identifying and removing any foreign objects that may be present in the intake and exhaust areas.Rate this question:

(422) Normal acceleration characteristics of the gas turbine compressor (GTC) include
- A.
Sudden rumbling noises after 35 percent.
- B.
A decrease in vibration after 35 percent.
- C.
Smooth and quiet acceleration.
- D.
Burping.
Correct Answer
B. A decrease in vibration after 35 percent.Explanation
The normal acceleration characteristics of a gas turbine compressor (GTC) include a decrease in vibration after 35 percent. This means that as the GTC accelerates, the vibration levels initially increase but then start to decrease after it reaches 35 percent of its acceleration. This decrease in vibration is considered normal and indicates that the GTC is operating smoothly and without any issues.Rate this question:

(423) Common or frequently occurring troubles in a unit, their cause, and remedies may be found in the
- A.
Historical record.
- B.
Maintenance record.
- C.
Troubleshooting chart.
- D.
Illustrated parts breakdown.
Correct Answer
C. Troubleshooting chart.Explanation
A troubleshooting chart is a tool that provides a systematic approach to identify and resolve common or frequently occurring troubles in a unit. It contains a list of potential problems, their causes, and recommended remedies. By referring to the troubleshooting chart, technicians can quickly diagnose and fix issues, saving time and effort. The historical record and maintenance record may contain information about past problems and their solutions, but they may not provide a structured and organized approach like a troubleshooting chart does. The illustrated parts breakdown, on the other hand, is a visual representation of the unit's components and may not include troubleshooting information.Rate this question:

(424) If no oil pressure is available from the main oil pump assembly on the gas turbine compressor (GTC), what should you replace?
- A.
Oil pump.
- B.
Entire assembly.
- C.
Flow check valve.
- D.
Filter bypass relief valve.
Correct Answer
B. Entire assembly.Explanation
If no oil pressure is available from the main oil pump assembly on the gas turbine compressor (GTC), the entire assembly should be replaced. This is because if there is no oil pressure, it indicates a malfunction or failure in the entire assembly, and replacing just one component like the pump or valve may not solve the issue. Replacing the entire assembly ensures that all the components are new and functioning properly, restoring the oil pressure to the required level for the GTC.Rate this question:

(424) Which causes gray or white smoke to pour from the exhaust stack on the gas turbine compressor (GTC)?
- A.
Excessive engine revolutions per minute (rpm).
- B.
Excessive engine exhaust temperature.
- C.
Oil that enters the airflow system.
- D.
Fuel mixing with the airflow.
Correct Answer
C. Oil that enters the airflow system.Explanation
When oil enters the airflow system of a gas turbine compressor (GTC), it can cause gray or white smoke to pour from the exhaust stack. This is because the oil burns and creates smoke when it comes into contact with the hot components of the engine. Excessive engine revolutions per minute (rpm) do not directly cause smoke from the exhaust stack. Similarly, excessive engine exhaust temperature and fuel mixing with the airflow may cause other issues, but they are not specifically related to the smoke pouring from the exhaust stack.Rate this question:
