    Internal Combustion Engine Compressor Turbine Combustion Chamber

    A gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air instead of water like a steam power plant. It has a rotating compressor coupled to a downstream turbine with a combustion chamber in between. The air is compressed in the compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustion chamber to generate high-temperature gas, which expands through the turbine to power the compressor and devices like an electric generator connected to the shaft. Depending on its purpose, a gas turbine is designed to maximize either the temperature or velocity of the exhaust gases. Gas turbines are commonly used to power aircraft, trains, ships, generators, and even tanks.

    A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine,

    is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an


    upstream rotatingcompressor coupled to a
    downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in
    between.
    The basic operation of the gas turbine is similar to
    that of the steam power plant except that air is
    used instead of water. Fresh atmospheric air flows
    through a compressor that brings it to higher
    pressure. Energy is then added by spraying fuel
    into the air and igniting it so the combustion
    generates a high-temperature flow. This hightemperature high-pressure gas enters a turbine,
    where it expands down to the exhaust pressure,
    producing a shaft work output in the process.
    The turbine shaft work is used to drive the
    compressor and other devices such as an electric
    generator that may be coupled to the shaft. The
    energy that is not used for shaft work comes out in
    the exhaust gases, so these have either a high
    temperature or a high velocity. The purpose of the
    gas turbine determines the design so that the most
    desirable energy form is maximized. Gas turbines
    are used to power aircraft, trains, ships, electrical
    generators, or even tanks.[1]
