Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT) indicates combustion gases entering the turbine and is read before the turbine in increments of 100°C.

• A. Temperature Of Combustion Gases Entering The Turbine, Read Before The Turbine, In Increments Of 100°C
• B. Temperature Of Exhaust Gases After The Turbine
• C. Engine Oil Temperature
• D. Ambient Air Temperature At Engine Inlet

Answer: (A)

Turbine Inlet Temperature is the temperature of the combustion gases entering the turbine, measured just before they reach the turbine. This location matters because it reflects the actual gas temperature after combustion that the turbine will convert to mechanical energy, and it’s typically monitored at the turbine inlet in fixed steps (often 100°C) for consistency and control purposes. This differs from exhaust gas temperature, which is the temperature after the turbine has expanded the gases. It also isn’t engine oil temperature, which pertains to lubrication, or ambient air temperature at the engine inlet, which is the outside air temperature and not the combustion gases inside the engine.
