Gas turbines

Gas turbine is a variation of the internal combustion engine. In general any engine is an energy transforming device that releases potential energy of the fuel and turns it into effective power of the rotating shaft. Gas specifies the fuel.

Air flows into the turbine through the air intake and serves as a media used in the energy transition process. It is initially compressed within the engine, then mixed with the fuel gas and combusted. The resulting hot exhaust gases expand through a series of airfoil blades, transferring the energy of combustion to the output shaft. Remaining heat energy of the expanded exhaust gas may be utilized further in the industrial processes.
