A combustion turbine that converts energy of hot compressed gases (produced by burning fuel in compressed air) into mechanical energy that can be used to generate electricity and compress more air Often used interchangeably with combustion turbine
n. An internal-combustion engine consisting essentially of an air compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine wheel that is turned by the expanding products of combustion. an engine in which a wheel of special blades is driven round at high speed by hot gases, producing a lot of power
(combustion turbine) A turbine that converts the energy of hot compressed gases (produced by burning fuel in compressed air) into mechanical power Often fired by natural gas or fuel oil
(auto) An ALTERNATIVE COMBUSTION ENGINE in which a gas, under pressure or formed by combustion, is directed against the BLADEs of a TURBINE The ENERGY in the expanding gas is thereby converted into useful mechanical energy F - turbine a gaz S - turbina de gas
Rotating machinery where liquid or gaseous fuel is burned to produce electric power and heat Hot combustion gases are passed to the turbine and where they expand to drive the generator and are then used to run the compressor Gas turbines typically consist of an axial-flow air compressor; one or more combustion chambers and a turbine drive section connected to a generator
turbine that converts the chemical energy of a liquid fuel into mechanical energy by internal combustion; gaseous products of the fuel (which is burned in compressed air) are expanded through a turbine
