What is usage of gas turbines ? How can i use gas turbine ? In an aircraft gas turbine the output of the turbine is used to turn the compressor (which may also have an associated fan or propeller). The hot air flow leaving the turbine is then accelerated into the atmosphere through an exhaust nozzle to provide thrust or propulsion power
Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is the science and study of the physical laws of the behavior of objects in an air flow and the forces that are produced by air flows.

Introduction of Gas Turbines
Engineering advancements pioneered the development of gas turbines in the early 1900s, and turbines began to be used for stationary electric power generation in the late 1930s. Turbines revolutionized airplane propulsion in the 1940s, and in the 1990s through today have been a popular choice for new power generation plants in the United States.

Steam Turbine Efficiency
Electrical Efficiency
The electrical generating efficiency of standard steam turbine power plants varies from a high of 37% HHV4 for large, electric utility plants designed for the highest practical annual capacity factor, to under 10% HHV for small, simple plants which make electricity as a byproduct of
delivering steam to processes or district heating systems.

Innovative Wind Turbines
Another type of turbine developed at about the same time as the Darrieus was the Savonius turbine, developed in Finland by S. J. Savonius. This is another vertical axis machine which needs no orientation into the wind. Alternative energy enthusiasts often build this turbine from used oil barrels by cutting the barrels in half lengthwise and welding the two halves back together offset from one another to catch the wind. A picture of a somewhat more advanced unit developed at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, is shown in Figure.
