gasturbiin

A gasturbiin, also known as a gas turbine or turbine engine, is a type of internal combustion engine that uses the Brayton cycle to generate power. It consists of three main components: a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. Air is drawn into the compressor, where its pressure is increased. This compressed air then enters the combustor, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited. The resulting hot, high-pressure gases expand through the turbine, causing it to rotate. This rotation drives both the compressor and an external load, such as an electrical generator or a propeller. Gasturbiins are known for their high power-to-weight ratio and ability to start and stop quickly. They are commonly used in aircraft propulsion, electricity generation, and industrial applications like pumping oil and gas. Different types of fuel can be used, including natural gas, kerosene, and diesel fuel. The efficiency of a gasturbiin can be improved through methods like intercooling, reheating, and regeneration. Their design allows for continuous operation and can operate at very high temperatures.
