What property of the exhaust gas is being used to turn the turbine that runs the compressor?
Wiki User

At exhaust valve opening, pressurised gas reduces pressure by moving across the turbine blades and out of the exhaust pipe, the momentum of the moving gas is tapped by the turbine blades producing torque on the turbine shaft.

Open cycle arrangement of a gas turbine?
1. The working gas is compressed in compressor and directed towards the heat exchanger (Air heater), where heat is being added to the compressed gas before it enters the turbine. 2. The heat is supplied by an external source such as a nuclear reactor, or some other heat source. 3. The hot gasses then expend and accelerate through a nozzle which drive the guide vanes of the turbine and then shaft. 4. At last, the remaining exhaust gasses pass through a cooler and directed towards the compressor inlet.
How energy is being transformed when turbine is spinning?
pressure/flow of the median(water/exhaust) is converted into mechanical torque on the shaft by the turbine.
Why vacuum is created in condenser on steam turbine?
Firstly, vacuum is being created in turbine exhaust and condenser rather than being required. It is created to reduce the back-pressures and to improve the turbine efficiency. Also, with vacuum the designers can design large size last stage blades of LP turbine for maximizing the turbine output.
What is a gas turbine compressor bleed valve?
Bleed Valve FunctionValve which is meant to siphon off a portion of the flow from another system.A heavy-duty gas turbine employs compressor bleed valves to protect the axial compressor during start-up and shutdown against stalling and surging conditions. These valves are typically only open during acceleration to rated speed and deceleration from rated speed. Newer heavy-duty gas turbine with complex combustion system arrangements designed to limit emission of harmful gases also employ the compressor bleed valves during very light loading to limit the amount of air entering the combustor.Compressor bleed valves discharge into the gas turbine exhaust duct. Compressor bleed valves are generally closed during normal operation (with the previous exception) since "dumping" axial compressor discharge into the exhaust reduces efficiency (but it's MANDATORY during start-up and acceleration to protect the compressor!). Compressor bleed valves are generally either fully open or fully closed; they are not modulated.Heavy-duty gas turbines also employ inlet bleed heat valves to recirculate a portion of the axial compressor discharge back to the inlet of the axial compressor for a variety of functions. One application uses them to heat the inlet air to prevent icing on the compressor inlet (appropriately called anti-icing protection); another application uses inlet bleed heat to protect the axial compressor when the IGVs (axial compressor Inlet Guide Vanes) are closed below the "normal" operating conditions ("normal" being before complicated combustion systems designed to limit exhaust emissions were invented).Inlet bleed heat control valves are modulated to control the amount of air recirculated back to the axial compressor inlet. Recirculating axial compressor discharge back to the inlet is also inefficient, but is generally limited to approximately 5% of rated air flow through the compressor--and necessary to protect the compressor at low IGV angles. Inlet bleed heat valves are generally closed before the unit reaches rated load (except for anti-icing protection) and should be closed during rated power output (Base Load) operation (except for anti-icing protection).
What exhaust does nuclear power have?
Nuclear power released in a nuclear reactor is simply thermal energy, which is transferred to the water/steam in the secondary circuit to produce electrical power from the generator. There is no loss of energy between it being created by the nuclear fission process and being transferred to the steam turbine inlets. The steam cycle itself which is a Rankine cycle, has a thermodynamic efficiency of about 33 percent, that is 1/3 of the reactor output in MW appears as electric power, and 2/3 is rejected into the cooling water in the turbine condenser. Perhaps this is what you mean by 'exhaust'.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."

The compressor on your 99 Dodge Neon is locking down Do you need to replace the compressor or is there another option besides being hot?
REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR If the AC compressor is seized, you don't have many options. Yes, you
Does a Mercedes clk compressor have a supercharger?
Yes, kompressor is the German word for supercharger. A supercharger works by forced induction (compressed air) being supplied to the engine and is powered via an engine driven belt, a turbo works similar but is charged by exhaust gases
The property of being bendable is called?
the property of being bendable is called malleability
How hot does car exhaust get?
Car exhaust can reach temps of 500 degrees F. With the hottest points being the exhaust manifolods/headers, and the catalytic converter.
What can cause minute oil droplets to come out of the exhaust?
incomplete combustion of the petrol in the cylinders which is then being released in the exhaust.
