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 in the combustion chamber, resulting in the smoke being expelled through the exhaust. Excessive engine revolutions per minute (rpm) and excessive engine exhaust temperature may cause other issues in the engine but are not directly related to the smoke from the exhaust stack. Fuel mixing with the airflow is also unlikely to cause smoke, as it is a normal part of the combustion process.Rate this question:

In the gas turbine compressor (GTC), if large amounts of oil are forced through the air-oil seals, the most probable cause is a defective
- A.
Main oil pump.
- B.
Scavenge pump.
- C.
Oil tank vent line.
- D.
Oil drain solenoid.
Correct Answer
B. Scavenge pump.Explanation
If large amounts of oil are forced through the air-oil seals in the gas turbine compressor (GTC), the most probable cause is a defective scavenge pump. The scavenge pump is responsible for removing excess oil from the GTC and returning it to the oil tank. If the scavenge pump is defective, it may not be able to properly remove the excess oil, causing it to be forced through the air-oil seals.Rate this question:

Which could cause the butterfly valve to oscillate (continually open and close)?
- A.
Load valve.
- B.
Hose relief valve.
- C.
Rate adjustment screw.
- D.
Pneumatic load thermostat.
Correct Answer
D. Pneumatic load thermostat.Explanation
A pneumatic load thermostat can cause the butterfly valve to oscillate because it is designed to regulate the flow of air based on changes in temperature. If the thermostat detects a change in temperature, it will adjust the air pressure, which in turn affects the position of the butterfly valve. This constant adjustment of the valve can cause it to oscillate, continually opening and closing.Rate this question:

Which three things are necessary to produce an electromotive force (EMF) mechanically?
- A.
EMF, relative motion, and magnetic field.
- B.
Magnet, lines of force, and relative motion.
- C.
Magnetic field, a conductor, and relative motion.
- D.
Counter-electromotive force (CEMF), a conductor, and magnetic field.
Correct Answer
C. Magnetic field, a conductor, and relative motion.Explanation
In order to produce an electromotive force (EMF) mechanically, three things are necessary: a magnetic field, a conductor, and relative motion. The presence of a magnetic field is required to induce the EMF in the conductor. The conductor acts as a medium for the flow of electrons, which creates the EMF. Finally, relative motion between the magnetic field and the conductor is needed to generate the EMF. This relative motion causes the magnetic field lines to cut across the conductor, resulting in the production of the EMF.Rate this question:

To increase the output of a generator, you must increase the
- A.
Load.
- B.
Resistance of the conductor.
- C.
Strength of the magnetic field.
- D.
Counter-electromotive force (CEMF).
Correct Answer
C. Strength of the magnetic field.Explanation
To increase the output of a generator, you must increase the strength of the magnetic field. This is because the generator operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor. By increasing the strength of the magnetic field, more lines of force will cut across the conductor, resulting in a greater induced current and thus increasing the generator's output.Rate this question:

What result is achieved by replacing the single rotating conductor of a simple direct current (DC) generator with many coils of wire wound on the same shaft?
- A.
Increased output and almost constant alternating current (AC).
- B.
Increased output and almost constant DC.
- C.
Decreased current and constant AC.
- D.
Decreased current and constant DC.
Correct Answer
B. Increased output and almost constant DC.Explanation
By replacing the single rotating conductor with many coils of wire wound on the same shaft, the DC generator is able to produce an increased output. This is because the multiple coils increase the amount of wire and thus the amount of current that can be generated. Additionally, the generator will produce almost constant DC, as the coils on the shaft maintain a consistent direction of current flow. The increased output and constant DC make this option the correct answer.Rate this question:

The rotor of an alternating current (AC) generator consists of the slip rings and
- A.
Armature.
- B.
Starter coil.
- C.
Stator windings.
- D.
Voltage regulator.
Correct Answer
A. Armature.Explanation
The rotor of an AC generator consists of the slip rings and armature. The slip rings are used to transfer the generated electrical energy from the rotating armature to an external circuit. The armature, on the other hand, is the rotating component of the generator that contains the wire windings. These windings are responsible for generating the alternating current as they rotate within the magnetic field created by the stator windings. Therefore, the armature is the correct answer as it is an essential part of the rotor in an AC generator.Rate this question:
