- 1Almost any hydrocarbon fuel from high-octane gasoline to heavy diesel oil can be used directly in the combustion chamber.
- 2Open-cycle plants occupy a comparatively smaller space than closed-cycle plants.
- 3The weight per unit power (in kg per kW) developed by the plant is exceptionally low.
- 4The part-load efficiency of the open-cycle plant decreases rapidly as a considerable percentage of the power developed by the turbine is used to drive the compressor.✓
Correct answer
The part-load efficiency of the open-cycle plant decreases rapidly as a considerable percentage of the power developed by the turbine is used to drive the compressor.
