2. Introduction  Mechanical Power Reciprocating Engines Turbines Turbines are compact machines (high power to weight ratio, having less balancing problems and less oil consumption.  Turbines Hydraulic turbines Steam turbines Gas turbines The performance of these machines depend on compressor efficiency, pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature.

3. Introduction  Gas Turbine versus Steam turbine Steam turbine plants are utilized for producing large power 1000 MW per unit. Gases are used to heat water and steam. Then steam is used in turbines to produce power. In gas turbines gas is directly used to produce power Power cycles are simple, complex and combined (steam and gas) Simple and combined gas turbines  Use of turbines Electrical power generation Jet propulsion Supply of compressed air/ gas Mechanical power generation

13. Introduction  Description of simple cycle Specific work, w; thermal efficiency, η= w/q  Assumptions: Both compressor and turbine are isentropic (reversible adiabatic, η= 100 %) Pressure losses in both of combustion chamber and heat exchanger are negligible. Working fluid is air. It behaves as an ideal gas Mass flow rate is constant and combustion process is replaced by heat addition process.
