Everythings about Gas Turbine

In this article, we are going to introduce a gas turbine. We will also examine the Gas Turbine Cycles and its different types.

What is Gas Turbine: 

Which cycle is used for gas turbine?

The basic operation of this turbine type has roots in the gas turbine cycle which is also known as the Brayton cycle. The gas turbine cycle works like this:

Though this cycle is not ideal for open circle gas turbines, it’s still used for them with a small change in the steps. They are perfect for the closed-cycle gas turbine. This cycle contains four steps:

*Isentropic compression in the compressor

A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of continuous and internal combustion engine. The main elements common to all gas turbine engines are:

an upstream rotating gas compressor

a combustor

a downstream turbine on the same shaft as the compressor.

The first gas turbine type was turbojet engines. Although they look entirely different from reciprocal engines, they operate on the same principle: intake, compression, power and exhaust. In this type of engine, air is moved at a high speed to the fuel inlet and ignitor of the combustion chamber. The turbine induces accelerated exhaust gases by expanding air Click here to read more about different types of gas turbine.
