Gas turbines - A review

Shweta Varshney

Abstract


Gas-turbine engines are any internal combustion engines that use gas as the working fluid to turn a turbine. Additionally, this phrase also refers to an entire internal combustion engine, which must have a turbine, a combustion chamber, and a compressor.

 Power generation with gas turbines dates back to 1939.One of the most often utilised power generation systems today is the gas turbine. The compressor, the combustion chamber The turbine, combustor (sometimes known as the combustor), and the other two main parts of a gas turbine are all situated on the same shaft.

Electric power plants, pumps, gas compressors, and storage tanks are just a few of the many devices that are powered by gas turbines.

Isentropic compression, isobaric combustion (constant pressure), isentropic expansion, and heat rejection are the four thermodynamic processes that take place in a perfect gas turbine. They are all included in the Brayton cycle. Gas turbine-powered cars have been used in a variety of studies. Turbine engines for hybrid electric vehicles have drawn considerable interest more recently.
