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.
GT compressor pulsation ?
Rotating axial compressor.

A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
The function of IGV in a gas turbine is to prevent surges and stall conditions.
Air compressor alone consumes about 50 to 60 % of energy generated by a gas turbine..
This relationship is the reason advances in turbines and axial compressors often find their way cutaway showing an axi-centrifugal compressor gas turbine.
self sustaining speed is output of a turbine= input into compressor
The compressor on a gas turbine and other jet engine types takes the air around us at normal pressures, and compresses it to much higher pressures and temperatures. Like the compression stroke on a internal combustion engine, the incoming air needs to be at extreeme pressures for the engine to be efficient.
It does a number of things depending on what type of engine its coming from, but in all engines, it extracts energy from the combustion gasses and turns the shaft which also turns the compressor section.
