← TechnologyWhich mechanism primarily dictates final exhaust temperature in combined cycle gas turbines?
A)Exhaust plume adiabatic expansion
B)Bypass duct modulating throttling
C)Heat recovery steam generator✓
D)Selective catalytic reduction catalysis
💡 Explanation
The heat recovery steam generator controls exhaust temperature because the heat transfer from the exhaust warms the feedwater to create steam; therefore, the exhaust temperature decreases considerably, reaching optimized efficiency, rather than expanding without work or different chemical reaction impacts using SCR.
