Power Gas Turbines

2015
A gas turbine is a turbomachine composed of a compressor part, a part with heat supply to the compressed gas and a turbine part in which the hot gas expands. The present chapter discusses gas turbines for mechanical power ­generation. These are machines with an outgoing shaft, meant to drive a load.

Gas Turbines

2016
The most important machine for generating electricity from natural gas is the gas turbine. These engines which were developed primarily as power units for aeroplanes but were adapted virtually since they first appeared for power generation. However, it is only since the late 1980s and the appearance of the modern gas turbine combined cycle power plant ...

Gas Turbine Plants

1992
In a cycle process of a gas turbine, the compressor load, as well as the mechanical load, is supplied by the energy from the expansion of the hot pressurized flue gas. Either turbine, compressor and driven assembly are joined by a single shaft, or the shaft is thus divided, so that the turbine part driving the compressor and the compressor are joined ...

The Gas Turbine in Perspective

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1950
A survey is made of the progress that has been achieved in Britain over the last decade in improving the performance of gas-turbine components. The effect of these improvements on the performance of jet-propulsion engines is then shown. An attempt is also made to foresee the probable future trend of progress and to assess the nature of the important ...

An Overview of Gas Turbines

2006
Publisher Summary The gas turbine is a power plant that produces a great amount of energy depending on its size and weight. The gas turbine has found increasing service in the past 60 years in the power industry among both utilities and merchant plants as well as the petrochemical industry throughout the world.

The Testing of Gas Turbines

ASME 2007 Power Conference, 2007
ASME codes cover testing of all types of gas turbines between the ASME PTC 22 and ASME PTC 55, which will be available by 2008. The testing of gas turbines in land-based units is handled in PTC 22, while the testing of Aircraft gas turbines is handled in PTC 55. The paper addresses the development of ASME Test Codes, and the testing of gas turbines for

Gas Turbines

2017
Due to the incredibly high temperatures reached within Gas turbines, they are typically the most complicated equipment within the plant and therefore need to be monitored and maintained very carefully to achieve optimum reliability. The best practices in this chapter focus on achieving this high reliability.

Reheat for Gas Turbines

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1955
Some five years ago the author was privileged to deliver a Section Lecture to the Royal Aeronautical Society on the subject of reheat. The present paper attempts to summarise the problems which now arise and to give some idea of the progress which has been made in the intervening years.In 1949, reheat was in its infancy in Great Britain.

The Adaptable Gas Turbine

American Scientist, 2013
Turbines have been around for a long time—windmills and water wheels are early examples. The name comes from the Latin turbo, meaning vortex, and thus the defining property of a turbine is that a fluid or gas turns the blades of a rotor, which is attached to a shaft that can perform useful work.
