Gas Turbine Schematic Diagram. A typical land based gas turbine is shown in fig. Transformations for turbines and turbo compressors in temperature entropy diagram.
In this turbine the gas is compressed isentropically and then passed into the heating chamber. Ie a lighter weight unit derive d from an aircraft jet engine. I compressor ii regenerator iii combustion chamber iv gas turbine v alternator vi starting motor this textbook principles of power system by vk mehta is the best in industry.
The closed cycle gas turbine works on the principle of joules or braytons cycle.
A schematic diagram for a simple cycle single shaft gas turbine is shown in figure 2. The brayton cycle describes the thermodynamics of a gas turbine engine and when describing the processes on a p v or t s diagram we denote the end of a process by using the station number. A schematic diagram of the engine arrangement and the typical temperature entropy and pressure volume diagrams of a gas turbine engine are shown in figure 1. The most common type of gas turbine is the open cycle one in which the air is used to burn the fuel.
