Best Answer

Normally when starting a turbine engine, the starter is used to get the turbine up to operational speeds, then fuel is pumped in with the ignition active.

A "wet start" is a start where the engine is being started with a quantity of fuel already pooled in the engine (perhaps the result of a previous failed start) or the pilot delays ignition beyond what is normal and allows fuel to pool in the engine before ignition. Wet starts can result in a fire plume or a loud bang, and may damage the engine. The most dramatic damage will be to the compresser turbine blades due to pressure and heat failure.

What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?

That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept.
