Gas turbines are a type of Internal Combustion engine, however; Assuming that you want to know the difference between a recpirocating piston engine and a gas turbine engine, the simple answer is that ICE's (Internal combustion engines) create work by moving a crank that is connected to a piston. An explosion in the piston chamber pushes a piston (or series of pistons) attached to a crankshaft, which turns the shaft. The gas turbine works by turning a shaft connected to a turbine. The turbine is powered by a compressed feul-air mixture. A stream of gas is compressed with air and forced through a chamber containing the turbine. The turbine turns the shaft as a result of complex mechanics that control the movement and flow of the compressed fuel-air mixture. The basic mechanical difference: A reciprocating piston engine uses a linear "back and forth" motion to turn a shaft, and the gas turbine engines relies on a constant circular motion to turn a shaft.

∙ 13y ago1)Combustion: The main difference is where the combustion takes places. In IC engines fuel combustion takes place inside the cylinder, whereas in EC engines it takes place outside the engine cylinder.
2) The temperature and pressure in an IC engines is much higher than those of EC engines.
3) IC engines are made of materials that are better resistant to heat and pressure than in EC engines
4) In IC engines the piston is directly connected to connecting rod, whereas in an EC engine there is a stuffing box.
5) Efficiency is higher for IC engines.
6) Boilers are required for EC engines to store water, which is to be converted to steam. But IC engines require only a much smaller tank to store fuel.
7) EC engines, unlike IC engines cannot be started or stopped quickly, because it takes time to initiate boiling of water and generate steam.
8) IC engines are lighter than EC engines.
9) IC engines are cheaper compared to EC engines.

How do you use the word turbine in a sentence?
My dadd uses turbine to heat the gas of hiss engine after he stopped at the gas stop and didn't find any gas left. ( This may be a weird looking sentence for turbine,but at least I got an A on it. )
What is theConstruction difference between stream turbine and gas turbine?
gas turbines and gas engines are different in mechanic designes uses diffrent liquid for engine we use flemmable gas we use for turbine liquide flemmable but they need air both gas turbines and gas engines are different in mechanic designes uses diffrent liquid for engine we use flemmable gas we use for turbine liquide flemmable but they need air both answer by nailiyoucef05@yahoo.fr I dont think so. Gas engine works as the same principle of a petrol engine. And in gas turbine gas is burned and high velocity gas is passed through the turbine. A gas engine is an internal combustion engine and have no turbines. alamm2@asme.org
What is bleeding of turbine?
Bleed air in gas turbine engines is compressed air taken from within the engine, after the compressor stage(s) and before the fuel is injected in the burner
What is the use of a turbine in refrigeration?
It is used as a compressor. It has the same advantages over a piston compressor as a gas turbine engine has over a piston engine. i.e. no valves, much lower part count and much greater efficiency.
Can gas turbine engine be used in trains?
Gas turbine engine deals with high temperature and pressure. So it is difficult to use it. However if certain modifications are done in it , it can probably be used in trains. And if this is done the trains would be very high speed. as it is gasturbine engines which powers aeroplanes
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine and a piston engine?
a compressor does work on the gas , raising its pressure and temperaturea turbine does the reverse , it expands the gas as it passes through the turbine, extracting energy from the gas to do mechanical work.For a typical jet engine , the flow track on a compressor is of a converging cross section while is it diverging for the turbine, which is as per gas dynamic laws.The Turbine does two things here in the jet engine, one ,it runs the compressor and two, expands the gas to the propelling nozzle which produces thrust by accelerating the gas upto its exit.
What are the advantages of free turbine engine over gas turbine engine?
A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.
What kind of engine is a jet engine?
Gas Turbine.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
Is the Chevrolet Volt really an all-electric car it's been around that it has a gas turbine engine as well?
the Chevrolet volt is a series hybrid car.it mainly runs on battery power.the battery is charged by the regenerative braking and the gas turbine engine.when the battery power is low,the gas turbine engine is switched on.the gas turbine engine is connected to a generator which produces electricity to charge the low powered batteries.the gas turbine engine does not power the car direcly,it just produces electricity. The Chevy Volt has a 1.4 liter 84 h.p. internal combustion gasoline engine that requires premium fuel. it is not a gas turbine engine.
What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
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. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
What is n2 aviation?

What is a CIT sensor?
