∙ 13y agoA gas fired turbine (a jet engine is one) basically consists of a large tube inside which you find a compressor, a wheel formed by vanes, and a turbine, also a wheel with vanes. In between (also inside the tube) is a combustion chamber with fuel injector.
A starter motor will initiate the turning of the engine (the compressor and the turbine, since they are on the same shaft). The compressor wheel will start turning and draw air from the ambient and compress it, thus heating it. The compressed air is led through the combustion chamber and fuel is injected and ignited. The burning air/fuel mixture will expand and give its energy to the turbine. As long as fuel is injected and ignited the process will maintain itself. The jet coming out of the turbine can be used as propulsion off a plane (jet plane) or to make an additional wheel turn (the latter is then called a power turbine). The power turbine can be connected to a propeller shaft (via a gearbox) and propel a ship, or for instance to a generator in order to make electric power.

Why the temperature and the pressure of gas are decreasing after flowing out from turbine?
The gas (working fluid) having flown through the turbine does some work on the turbine, converting its thermal energy into mechanical work produced by the turbine and coming out as an expanding gas with lower temperature and pressure.
What is the effect or reheater in the gas turbine?
1.Turbine output is increased for same compressor work. 2.As more heat is supplied,thermal efficiency decreases.
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. )
How does a turbine and generator work?
The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Where are ratchet mechanisms used?
Ratchet mechanisms used in Gas power plant for Gas Turbine. (like Barring gear in steam turbine).
How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?
Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.
What is the definition of combined cycle turbine technology?
Using waste energy in a gas fired electricity generation plant to run a steam turbine
Why the temperature and the pressure of gas are decreasing after flowing out from turbine?
The gas (working fluid) having flown through the turbine does some work on the turbine, converting its thermal energy into mechanical work produced by the turbine and coming out as an expanding gas with lower temperature and pressure.
How electricity is produced in a gas-fired power station?
I assume you're asking about a natural gas fired plant. The gas is burned to heat water and produce steam. The steam is piped to a steam turbine causing the turbine to spin rapidly. As the steam does work on the turbine, its temperature drops. The turbine is connected by a shaft to an electrical generator. The spinning generator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy by moving magnets through conducting wires. This produces an electric field which pushes electrons through the wires.
How many type of power plant?

How a gas turbine work?
Basically, a gas turbine is powered by gas under pressure, The gas is pressurized by burning some type of fuel such as kerosene, jet fuel, or propane. That heat causes air expansion, and the subsequent inflow of air makes the turbine spin. A gas turbine consists of three main parts; a combustion chamber, a turbine and a compressor. Air and fuel are mixed in the combustion chamber where it is ignited and increases in speed and power. This power is directed over the turbine blades which spin the turbine and power the compressor. It's a pretty simple process: heated fuel causes pressure and air expansion. The expanded air causes a turbine to spin. That is how gas turbines like jet engines work.
What is the technical reason for deterioration in performance of a gas turbine when the ambient temperature rises?
As the surrounding/ambient temperature increases, the temp of air entering the air compressor increases which means that the it's specific volume of air increases. Since the work of compressor = delta pressure x specific volume of air, then as the specific volume of air increases the work input of compressor increases and this is a problem because the total out put power of the turbine = work of the turbine - work of the compressor, so as the work of compressor increases, the total out put work of the gas turbine decreases. And that's why the efficiency of gas turbine is better in winter than in summer.
Why is the gas turbine called as the power plant?
A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?

What is the effect or reheater in the gas turbine?
1.Turbine output is increased for same compressor work. 2.As more heat is supplied,thermal efficiency decreases.
