The turbo prop core is very much like a turbojet engine. The difference is that rather then expanding all the hot exhaust gases through a nozzle to produce thrust these gasses are used to turn a turbine. this turbine is connected to a drive shaft which is in turn connected to a gear box. A shaft coming from the gear box is finally connected to a propeller which produces most of the thrust. The exhaust velocity of a turboprop is does little to aid thrust as most of the energy of the core exhaust has gone into turning the drive shaft.
The turbo shaft engine is a variation of the turbo prop. In this system the gear box is some other drive device. Turbo shaft engines are used in many helicopters, as well as tanks and boats.
