Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.

What is the difference between a SI engine and a CI engine?

An SI engine ignites the fuel with a spark (SI = Spark Ignition) whereas the CI engine ignites the fuel with heat generated from compression (CI = compression ignition)


What is the difference between ignition system of piston and jet engine?

Gas turbine engines, including jet engines, have a capacitor discharge ignition system using one or more ignitor plugs, which are only used at startup or in case the combustor(s) flame goes out. Ignition system of piston engines use spark plugs, distributor, coil and a battery.


Whats the difference between a 22re and a 22r engine?

a 22re is a radiator ignition and a 22r is just the radiator.


What is a wet start in turbine engines?

Normally when starting a turbine engine, the starter is used to get the turbine up to operational speeds, then fuel is pumped in with the ignition active. A "wet start" is a start where the engine is being started with a quantity of fuel already pooled in the engine (perhaps the result of a previous failed start) or the pilot delays ignition beyond what is normal and allows fuel to pool in the engine before ignition. Wet starts can result in a fire plume or a loud bang, and may damage the engine. The most dramatic damage will be to the compresser turbine blades due to pressure and heat failure.


What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?

Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.


Does heat energy make wires in a generator spin?

In a way. It is the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the steam turbine (generically, a 'heat engine') which results in the turbine spinning -this, in turn, causes the generator to spin.


The difference between turning and cranking an engine?

generally , cranking an engine is done with igniton where turning is done by hand with the ignition off so as it will not start


Is there a difference between the ignition system and the starter system in a car?

Yes, the ignition system starts the car and keeps it running. The starter system only turns the engine over.
