Since Gas Turbine is a part of Jet Engine so first we have to
familiarize with Jet Engine
Jet Engine
➢ Force
➢ Work
➢ Power
➢ Velocity
➢ Acceleration
➢ Potential Energy
➢ Kinetic Energy
➢ Newton’s law of motion
Force
➢ Defined as the capacity to do work
➢ Mathematically
F (Force) = P X A , where P (pressure in psi) & A (Area in sq inch)
➢ It’s a vector quantity
Work
➢ Work is said to be done when force acting on a body moves the body
through a distance.
➢ Mathematically
Work(W) = F X D where, F (Applied force in pound) & D (Distance moved
by body in feet)
F
D
Power
➢ it is defined as the work done per unit time
➢ Mathematically
Power(P) = FXD
T
where F (Force in Pound), D(Distance in feet) & T(Time in minute)
Velocity
➢ Mathematically
P.E = mgh
Where m (Mass of the body)
g (Acceleration due to gravity)
h( Height of the body from
reference ground level)
Kinetic Energy
➢ Mathematically m m
K.E = ½ mv2
Where m (Mass of the body)
v (velocity of the body)
Newton’s Law’s of Motion
Brayton Cycle
Represent the operation of gas turbine
Brayton cycle Process
Process 1-2 Adiabatic Compression:- Air is intake from atmosphere and
compresses adiabatically
Process 2-3 Isobaric Heat addition :- The compressed air then runs through a
combustion chamber, where fuel is burned, heating that air—a constant-
pressure process.
Process 3-4 Adiabatic Expansion:- the heated, pressurized air then gives up its
energy, expanding through a turbine (or series of turbines). Some of the work
extracted by the turbine is used to drive the compressor.
Process 4-1 Isobaric Heat rejection :- Heat is rejected in atmosphere
