Question 39Gas Turbine - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passHow many stages are in the HP turbine of the GE LM2500 gas turbine engine?
AOne
BTwo
CThree
DFour
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Two. The GE LM2500 gas turbine engine, which is commonly used in the US Coast Guard, has a two-stage high-pressure (HP) turbine. This design, with two separate turbine stages, allows for more efficient power generation and better performance compared to a single-stage HP turbine. The other answer choices are incorrect because the LM2500 engine does not have one, three, or four stages in its HP turbine. The two-stage configuration is the standard design for this engine model.
