What is Gas turbine?
[[File:Turbine-Joule-Brayton cycle.svg|thumb|Simplified diagram of a gas turbine]] A '''gas turbine''', also called a '''combustion turbine''', is a type of [[internal combustion engine]].<ref>A Dictionary of Aviation, David W. Wragg. {{ISBN|9780850451634}}, 1st Edition Published by Osprey, 1973 / Published by Frederick Fell, Inc., NY, 1974 (1st American Edition.), Page 141.</ref> The simplest form has three main parts: * A rotating [[gas compressor]] (SP in the diagram) to compress air * A combustion chamber, called a [[combustor]] (KS in the diagram) where fuel is injected * A [[turbine]] (TG in the diagram) on the same shaft as the compressor The diagram shows a single-shaft gas turbine. One turbine drives both the compressor and the load, such as an [[electric generator]]. There are also two-shaft gas turbines, with separate turbines to drive the compressor and the load. Two-shaft turbines are better for driving road and rail vehicles because they can give more [[torque]] at low speed. ==Related pages== * [[Turbojet]] ==References== {{reflist}} == Other websites == *http://www.gasturbineworld.co.uk/rovergasturbine.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306040155/http://www.gasturbineworld.co.uk/rovergasturbine.html |date=2023-03-06 }} *https://netl.doe.gov/sites/default/files/gas-turbine-handbook/1-1.pdf *https://publik.tuwien.ac.at/files/PubDat_240372.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306040200/https://publik.tuwien.ac.at/files/PubDat_240372.pdf |date=2023-03-06 }} *https://freikolben.ch/en/gas-turbines *https://www.monografias.com/trabajos108/estudio-del-efecto-del-aislamiento-termico-turbina-gas/estudio-del-efecto-del-aislamiento-termico-turbina-gas *https://chemicalengineeringworld.com/gas-turbine-working-and-types/ *https://raigap.livejournal.com/1044444.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230302032619/https://raigap.livejournal.com/1044444.html |date=2023-03-02 }} {{Fuel gas}} [[Category:Motors]]
