Gas Turbine Compressor Process Flow Diagram. The gas turbine is the most versatile item of turbomachinery today. It can be used in several different modes in critical industries such as power generation oil and gas process plants aviation as well domestic and smaller related industries.
1 is commonly termed the gas generator. 1 2 isentropic compression 2 3 constant pressure combustion 3 4 isentropic expansion. Its process flow diagram is shown in figure 1.
The enthalpy of combustion gases at any temperature is given.
It does this by expanding. The air is drawn into the compressor at 1 bar 15oc and is compressed with an isentropic efficiency of 94 to a pressure of 9 bar. In addition it must also provide power to drive the compressor and all engine accessories. The gas turbine is the most versatile item of turbomachinery today.
