The document discusses gas turbines, including their definition, parts, types, working, and applications. It describes the basic operation of a gas turbine as similar to a steam power plant but using air instead of water. The main parts of a gas turbine are identified as the inlet, compressor, shaft, burner, turbine, and nozzle. Types of gas turbines covered include turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and afterburning turbojet. Applications discussed are their use in marine vessels, aircraft jet propulsion, small micro gas turbines in devices like the Bladon jet engine, and electricity generation including at remote oil and gas sites from 5-500 megawatts.
4. • It is a type of internal combustion engine

7. • Jet engine in which the jet gases also
operate a turbine-driven compressor for
compressing the air drawn into the engine.
• An aircraft powered by a turbojet.

Turbojet
8. • A jet engine in which a turbine-driven
fan provides additional thrust.
• An aircraft powered by a turbofan

9. • A jet engine in which a turbine is used
to drive a propeller.
• An aircraft powered by a turboprop.

Turboprop
10. • An afterburner or "reheat jet pipe" is a
combustion chamber added to reheat
the turbine exhaust gases.
• Very high fuel consumption
• Four times higher fuel consumption than
that of the main engine.
• Used in supersonic aircraft, most being
military aircraft.

Afterbuming Turbojet
12. • Engine derive its power from burning fuel in a combustion chamber
• It has a second turbine acting as an air compressor mounted on the
same shaft
• The gas turbine is comprised of three main components:
– Compressor
– Combustor
– Turbine
• The working fluid is air
• Air is compressed in the compressor

Working of Gas Turbine
13. • Compressed air is mixed with fuel
• Burned by the combustor under constant pressure conditions in the
combustion chamber
• The resulting hot gas expands through the turbine to perform work
• Much of the power produced in the turbine is used to run the
compressor and do useful work
• The system is an open system

Working of Gas Turbine
16. • Gas turbines are used in many naval vessels, where they are valued
for their high power to weight ratio and their ships resulting
acceleration and ability to get underway quickly.

Marine Application
17. • To move an airplane through the air, we have to use some kind
of propulsion system to generate thrust.
• The most widely used form of propulsion system for modern
aircraft is the gas turbine engine.
• Turbine engines come in a variety of forms.
• Micro gas turbines are used in BLADON JET ENGINE.

Jet Application
18. • Bladon Jet Engine is a new generation of green and quiet efficient
power units.
• Their small size, light weight and high output deliver significant
advantages over traditional reciprocating engines.

Bladon Jet Engine
19. • The use of gas turbines for generating electricity dates back to 1939
• Today, gas turbines are one of the most widely-used power
generating technologies
• Installations of such turbine not normally
used for base load electricity generation
but for bringing power to remote sites such as oil and gas fields
• Such turbines can produce power up to 5MW to 500MW
