    Why air is compressed in Gas turbine engine ?

    i understood brayton cycle etc.. but why is air compressed in the GT engine ? iS is anything related related to following reasons ? 1. FOr better combustion of fuel, if so why ? 2 IS it to increase the temperature of air, if so why ? 3 any other reason

    Misc. DIY Gas Turbine Blades: Can I Make Them Using Ceramic and Carbon Fiber?

    I have been researching DIY gas turbines lately, and I have concluded that I want to make one. :smile: My only issue is that all amateur designs I have seen use turbochargers. I would like to see an axial, multi-stage compressor/turbine design. Obviously this would require one to fabricate the...

    Isentropic efficiency vs polytropic efficiency of a gas turbine

    definition wise i got the difference between these two efficiencies. but in practice how does these two differ? i was referring to this book: Jet propulsion: a simple guide to the aerodynamics and thermodynamic design ... By N. A. Cumpsty he has mentioned this: "using polytropic...

    How to Calculate Gas Turbine Inlet Temperature?

    Does anyone have a spreadsheet with formulas or a set of formulas that one can use to determine the turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine knowing measured parameters like fuel flow, compressor discharge tempuratures, LHV of fuel.

    Calculating Gas Turbine Shaft Power

    Homework Statement I have been asked to calculate a range of values relating to a Gas Turbine engine, and while I have been able to find the majority of the values I am almost certain that the Thermal Efficiency value of 1.64% I have come up with is incorrect. This relies on Shaft power...

    Aero engine without gas turbine

    Is there any aero engine in the world without any rotating bodies like compressor-turbine? Other than ram jet or scramjet. Thers is a vague idea in my mind to go for an aero engine without rotating elements in it. I just wanted to confirm if it is there.
