In an open cycle gas turbine, the gases that are produced by combustion go directly into the atmosphere, though the heat produced can sometimes be reclaimed.

In a closed cycle gas turbine, the gases produced are reused and are not emitted into the atmosphere.

The open cycle exausts the gases (produced by combustion) directly to atmosphere, sometimes the heat can be reclaimed to be utilised in a combined system (Rankine cycle added to gas cycle). Where as the closed cycle will reuse the gasses from the exaust instead.

What is the maximum plant load factor a gas turbine gives when operating in open cycle?

Depends on what type of gas, plant size and cycle and carriage.


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 need for gas turbines?

gas turbine are used for expansion of high pressure gas,which rotates the rotor coupled with generator and hence electricity is finally produced.Gas turbine operate on brayton cycle.
