The working principle of the turbine in a gas turbine engine is to convert the energy from the fluid into mechanical energy of the shaft. Thus, the power derived from the shaft can be used to drive a compressor, fan, or for the electrical power supply. The chapter introduces the reader ...
Gas turbine engines are mechanically simple engines that can use a wide range of fuels and are known for their excellent power-to-weight ratio. They are commonly used to power water pumps, helicopters, and propeller-driven aircraft. However, they are not suitable for applications that require va...
FUNDAMENTALS OF GAS TURBINE ENGINES INTRODUCTION The gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid (air) to drive the engine and pr...
Boasting a pair of GE Vernova LM2500 turbine engines—which are smaller, lighter, and narrower than comparable reciprocating engines—this catamaran-style vessel is touted as the fastest ship operating on the water today. The Francisco Papa runs on both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and marine ...

A gas turbine engine blade tip seal consists of a sealing ring which is controlled by means of two annular control members. The members are arranged such that one control member has a relatively rapid
The Future of Gas Turbine EnginesThere is evidence to show that carbon composite materials could resolve fan blade requirements in modern machinery. Currently, these materials limit the speeds that the blade can be designed, requiring a greater diameter for a given thrust. Researchers are ...
When it comes to operating a gas turbine on hydrogen, what safety measures need to be taken into consideration? Because hydrogen is more flammable than natural gas, critical aspects are considered to ensure the safe operation of a gas turbine with a natural gas/hydrogen fuel blend. For example...

Gas turbine engines are most generally known for their use in aircraft (section 2.1)[9] but they are also used in surface transportation (section 2.2) and increasingly in stationary applications. The latter field encompasses the greatest variety of configurations and purposes and is still expanding...
