Statement I: Cooling air represents a real cycle penalty even though it protects the blades.

Statement II: It has been compressed but is never heated in the combustor.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.

  • A.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • B.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • C.Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • D.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Answer: B
