gázturbinás

Gázturbinás refers to anything powered by or related to a gas turbine engine. A gas turbine, also known as a turbine engine, is a type of internal combustion engine that uses the combustion of fuel to create a high-speed jet of gas. This jet of gas then spins a turbine, which can be used to generate power.

Gas turbines are commonly used in aircraft for propulsion, where the high-speed exhaust gases generate thrust. They are also widely employed in power generation, particularly in thermal power plants, where they drive generators to produce electricity. In this application, the gas turbine is often part of a combined cycle power plant, where the exhaust heat is used to generate steam for a separate steam turbine, increasing overall efficiency.

Beyond aviation and power generation, gas turbines find applications in industrial settings, such as driving pumps and compressors in oil and gas facilities. Their ability to produce significant power from a relatively compact and lightweight unit makes them versatile for various demanding tasks. The term "gázturbinás" can therefore encompass aircraft engines, power generation turbines, and industrial machinery utilizing this technology.
