Although the performance of the gas turbine is not especially attractive compared with the efficiencies possible in Diesel and Petrol engine power plants, a simple gas turbine has advantages in weight, size and vibration compared to the engine and in size and cost compared to small steam plant. It is also superior to both in quantity of water used, for [...]
To analyse the simple cycle, we have to assume certain facts. These assumptions are: (a) Compression and expansion are isentropic. (b) Heat addition process in the combustion chamber and the heat rejection process are assumed to take place at constant pressure. (c) There is no pressure loss in the combustion chamber, connecting pipes, and heat exchangers. (d) The working fluid [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Gas Turbine 2. Classification of Gas Turbine 3. Comparison of Gas Turbine with Reciprocating IC Engines 4. Operation. Definition of Gas Turbine: Gas turbine is a rotary type of IC engine. It has replaced cylinder piston type reciprocating internal combustion. Gas turbine is a simple way of power-producing system.
