A Review on working of Gas turbine Operation

Shweta Varshney

Abstract


The basic operation of a gas turbine is a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. Atmospheric air flows through the compressor, increasing its pressure. Energy would then be tried to introduce by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it to build a high temperature flow. This superheated steam gas enters a turbine, producing shaft work output in the process. The unutilized energy can be generated in the exhaust gases. The design of the gas turbine is determined by its intended use in order to obtain the most ideal energy distribution between thrust and shaft work.

Gas turbines are open systems that cannot refill with the same air; hence they do not incorporate the fourth stage of the Brayton cycle, which involves cooling the working fluid.


Keywords


atmospheric air flow, gas turbine, gas generator, turboprop engine, Jet engines.
