Very simply, more fuel burned, more power output. This applies to any combustion engine.

How does ship's engine works?

Turbine i.e., engine converts fuel energy to mechanical energy by means of combustion...This turbine will drive the generator shaft i.e., mechanical input and the output will be electrical power and this electrical power will feed into induction motor which will converts this electrical power to mechanical power i.e., to drive the propeller and the ship will propel. The turbine used may be gas turbine or hydraulic turbine which depends on the speed of the ship should advance.


What is difference between a geothermal and thermal power plant?

The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.+++They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.


What fuel is used in windmills?

Windmills harness wind power, and were originally used for grinding grain. Today, the wind energy is converted into electricity by turbine generators.


The main purpose of the turbine in the turbojet engine is to?

The major function of the turbine in the turbojet is that it supplies the power to turn the compressor. An automatic fuel control unit on a turbojet engine is influenced by the burner pressure.


How does a Gas fired turbine work?

A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.

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.


Is a wind turbine conserving?

Well it conserves fuel which would otherwise have to be used in power plants.

How does EGT and gas generator speed in a free power turbine with a constant speed propeller behave when power setting is increased?

As power setting is increased in a free power turbine with a constant speed propeller, EGT (exhaust gas temperature) will rise due to increased fuel flow and combustion in the engine. Gas generator speed will also increase to maintain power output and drive the propeller at a constant speed. The engine and propeller system will work together to balance power output and propeller speed.

Look closely at the chart above. Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?

Gas turbine power is more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power because the cost of natural gas, which is used as a fuel in gas turbines, tends to fluctuate more compared to the relatively stable fuel costs associated with nuclear power generation. Additionally, gas turbines have lower efficiency levels compared to nuclear power plants, resulting in higher operational costs. Lastly, building and maintaining gas turbine power plants typically require more frequent maintenance and replacement of components, adding to the overall operational costs.
