Informations and news about gas turbines. Innovation and useful information about gas turbines.
What is turbine used for? Turbines, those enigmatic whirring machines, are the workhorses of our modern world. But beyond their impressive size and complex engineering lies a fundamental principle: converting the power of flowing fluids into usable energy. This simple concept, however, translates into a vast array of applications, impacting nearly every facet of our…
“Ashok Leyland and IIT Madras Join Forces to Unleash the Power of Micro Gas Turbine Technology in Hybrid EVs” Researchers from the National Centre for Combustion Research and Development (NCCRD) at IIT Madras have announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Ashok Leyland to develop hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) using micro gas turbine technology. The core of…
The gas turbine is a type of internal combustion engine therefore also known as combustion turbine. Basically, this turbine uses liquid fuel or natural gas to get mechanical energy. The basic principle of the gas turbine is somehow similar to the steam turbine but gas turbine uses air instead of water. These are three main…
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 Figure…
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. Gas turbines are available in…
