Gas turbines and Their Different Uses

Abstract

The structure of the gas turbine and how it is used in a closed cycle will be explained in this paper; the principles of the universal gas turbine will be specified by means of a specific piece of machinery, the Titan 130; there are a number of ways to improve the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine, and in this paper three specific solutions will be proposed. Due to the immense significance of the gas turbine for mankind, two significant applications of the gas turbine will be elucidated, namely the combined cycle and microgeneration technology. Furthermore, the performance of the gas turbine in the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine will be demonstrated through equations, and the significant factors in the combined cycle will be exemplified. Finally, the concept of the microturbine will be described, as well as the changes it will undergo in the future and the problems it is facing now.
