 Introduction
• Turbines are hydraulic machines that convert energy into rotating
mechanical energy which in turn generators to produce electrical
energy

 Gas Turbine

The compressor sucks the air from the atmosphere and compresses it
and guides it to the combustion chamber. 10
 Gas Turbine

 This is an annular chamber where the fuel burns and is similar to the
furnace in a boiler. The air from the compressor is the Combustion air.

 Gas Turbine

 Stationary guide vanes of turbine direct the gases to the next set of blades
 The kinetic energy of the hot gases impacting on the blades rotates the
blades and the shaft. 12

 Types of Gas Turbine

A. On basis of combustion process:

1. Continuous combustion or Constant pressure type
2. The explosion or constant volume type
B. On basis of path of working substance:
1. Open cycle gas turbine
2. Closed cycle gas turbine
C. On basis of action of expanding gases:
1. Impluse turbine
2. Impulse- Reaction turbine
D. On the basis of direction of flow:
1. Axial flow
2. Radial flow
