A type of turbine in which combusted, pressurized gas is directed against a series of blades connected to a shaft, which forces the shaft to turn to produce mechanical energy.
A turbine powered by a gas, such as the hot gas produced in combustion processes.
Rotating machinery where liquid or gaseous fuel is burned to produce electric power and heat. Hot combustion gases are passed to the turbine and where they expand to drive the generator and are then used to run the compressor. Gas turbines typically consist of an axial-flow air compressor; one or more combustion chambers and a turbine drive section connected to a generator.
It is an internal-combustion-rotating engine with one main moving part with some blades attached.
Engine in which burning fuel expands to drive a turbine that rotates a power shaft.
An internal-combustion rotating engine with one main moving part: the rotor with pinwheel-like blades attached. Air is compressed by the first rows of blades and delivered to the combustion chambers, from which the exhaust is directed to pass the remaining blades and to generate the power. Power is extremely smooth due to the absence of explosions and reciprocating parts.
turbine that converts the chemical energy of a liquid fuel into mechanical energy by internal combustion; gaseous products of the fuel (which is burned in compressed air) are expanded through a turbine
a form of jet engine, a jet
an engine designed to convert the energy of a fuel into some form of useful power, such as shaft power of the high-speed thrust of a jet
an engine where fuel is continuously burnt with compressed air to produce a stream of hot, fast moving gas
an open cycle IC engine consisting of a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine, this works on the principle of suck, squeeze, burn and blow
a rotary engine that extr Gas Information e the chlorine used in WWI) or particulate (such as many biological agents developed for weapons such as bacteria, viruses and toxins)
a turbine that extracts energy from a flow of gas, typically air
A turbine rotated by expanding gases.
Natural-gas or (less frequently) light-oil-fired rotating combustion engine operated at high speeds. Due to the high exhaust gas temperatures, gas turbines are very suitable for exhaust heat usage. Overall efficiencies of 80 to 90% are achievable. Units with high operational reliability are available today in sizes typically ranging from one to 200 megawatts.
(combustion turbine) A turbine that converts the energy of hot compressed gases (produced by burning fuel in compressed air) into mechanical power. Often fired by natural gas or fuel oil.
A high-speed machine used for converting heat energy from the exhaust gases produced during combustion into mechanical work. Natural gas or light fuel oil can be used as fuel.
A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustion gas. It has an upstream compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in-between. Gas turbine may also refer to just the turbine element.
