    This document provides an overview of gas turbine power plants. It describes the basic components and operation of a gas turbine, which uses compressed air and combustion to power a turbine rather than using water like a steam power plant. The history, configurations, types, advantages, and disadvantages of gas turbine power plants are also summarized.

    H istory
    50:H ero'sEngine (aeolipile) Apparently, H ero's steam engine
    w as taken to be no m ore than atoy, and thus its fullpotentialnot
    realized for centuries.
    1500: The "Chim ney Jack" w as draw n byLeonardo da Vinci: H ot air
    from a fi
    re rises through a single-stage axialturbine rotor m ounted
    in the exhaust duct of the fi
    replace and turning the roasting spit by
    gear/ chain connection.
    1791: A patent w as given toJohn Barber, an Englishm an, for the
    fi
    rst true gas turbine. H is invention had m ost of the elem ents
    present in the m odern day gas turbines. The turbine w as designed
    to pow er ahorseless carriage.

    C om p on en ts
    In let section
    Th ecom p ressor, w hich draw s air into the engine, pressurizes it, and
    feeds it to the com bustion cham ber at speeds of hundreds of m iles
    per hour.
    Th e com b u stion system , typically m ade up of a ring of fuel
    injectors that inject a steady stream of fuelinto com bustion
    cham bers w here it m ixes w ith the air.
    Th e tu rb in eis an intricate array of alternate stationary and rotating
    aerofoil-section blades. As hot com bustion gas expands through the
    turbine, it spins the rotating blades.
    Exh au st system

    Th eory of O p eration
    Three therm odynam ic processes:
    1.Isentropic com pression
    2.Isobaric (constant pressure) com bustion
    3.Isentropic Expansion

    The B rayton cycle is the idealcycle for G as Tu rb in e En g in es.

    A d van tag es of G as Tu rb in e
    Very highpow er-to-w eight ratio, com pared to reciprocating
    engines;
    Sm aller than m ost reciprocating engines of the sam e pow er
    rating.
    M oves in one direction only, w ith far less vibration than a
    reciprocating engine.
    Few er m oving parts than reciprocating engines.
    G reater reliability,particularly in applications w here sustained
    high pow er output is required

    Low operating pressures.


    W aste heat is dissipated alm ost entirely in the exhaust.This
    results in a high tem perature exhaust stream that is very
    usable for boiling w ater in acom bined cycle,or for
    cogeneration.
    H igh operation speeds.
    Low lubricating oilcost and consum ption.
    Can run on a w ide variety of fuels.

    D isad van tag es of G as Tu rb in e


    Cost is very high
    Less ef f
    cient than reciprocating engines at idle speed
    i
    Longer startup than reciprocating engines
    Less responsive to changes in pow er dem and com pared w ith
    reciprocating engines
