← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal energy bypasses turbine stages in combined cycle power plant?
A)Exergy destruction increases within the turbine✓
B)Volumetric flow through the condenser drops
C)Compressor work in gas turbine declines
D)Rate of fuel injection reduces proportionally
💡 Explanation
Increased exergy destruction impacts turbine efficiency when thermal energy bypasses turbine stages; the mechanism of irreversibility rises because lost availability is directed towards equalization, rather than work. Therefore efficiency is reduced, rather than alternatives influencing flow or fuel.
