← ScienceWhich constraint dominates when maximizing efficiency in a regenerative gas turbine cycle?
A)Turbine blade creep
B)Heat exchanger effectiveness✓
C)Compressor surge margin
D)Fuel injector clogging
💡 Explanation
A lower temperature differential within the recuperator imposes strict recuperator size restrictions, which reduces effectiveness because incomplete heat transfer diminishes the regenerative cycle's efficiency; therefore B, rather than blade failure, stalling, etc., dominates because temperatures are somewhat less extreme.
