	Gas turbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gas turbines are described thermodynamically by the Brayton cycle, in which air is compressed isentropically, combustion occurs at constant pressure, and expansion over the turbine occurs isentropically back to the starting pressure.
		Gas turbines are used in many naval vessels, where they are valued for their high power-to-weight ratio and their ships' resulting acceleration and ability to get underway quickly.
		Gas turbines are used on ships, locomotives, helicopters, and in tanks.

	Patent 4263997
		A turbine engine having a power turbine rotor which is directly coupled for rotation with a compressor rotor may be referred to as a single shaft gas turbine engine.
		Engine speed is controlled in response to exhaust gas temperature and engine speed feedback for operation at 100% rated speed under full load conditions and for optimum fuel consumption under part load conditions.
		Engine speed is controlled in a conventional manner by regulating the engine fuel flow in response to a fuel command signal which is normally proportional to the difference between a commanded and an actual engine speed.

	CITS aircraft gas turbine engine program
		The first component in an aircraft gas turbine engine is the compressor, which raises the pressure of the air flowing through the engine.
		The final stage of a gas turbine engine is the turbine itself, which extracts power from the hot gas emerging from the combustor.
		The turbine power is used to run the compressor and the fan, which moves most of the air that propels the airplane.

	gas-turbine engine -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The principle of the gas turbine is that of compressing and burning air and fuel in a combustion chamber and using the exhaust jet from this process to provide the reaction that propels the engine forward.
		Most gas turbines operate on an open cycle in which air is taken from the atmosphere, compressed in a centrifugal or axial-flow compressor, and then fed into a combustion chamber.
		While in a piston engine the air is alternately drawn in and exhausted, a gas turbine engine draws air in continuously.

	Research • keith-knipling.com
		What follows is a brief introduction to gas turbine engines, which will provide you with some basic information motivating my research in developing new high temperature aluminum-based alloys.
		Turbine blades in the hottest sections of the engine (the turbine) are typically made of nickel alloys, whereas "cooler" sections exploit titanium and aluminum alloys.
		Turbine blades are highly susceptible to creep failure, due to the high level of stress induced by the centrifugal forces coupled with elevated operating temperatures.

	turbine on Encyclopedia.com
		The term gas turbine is usually applied to a unit whose essential components are a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine that resembles a steam turbine.
		The turbine drives the compressor, which feeds high-pressure air into the combustion chamber; there it is mixed with a fuel and burned, providing high-pressure gases to drive the turbine, the gases expanding until their pressure drops to atmospheric pressure.
		Gas turbines are used mainly as aircraft engines.

	gas-turbine-engine
		The turbine, which is directly coupled to the compressor, provides the power to compress the air; the gas leaving the nozzle provides the thrust to propel the aircraft.
		Although the Gas Turbine Engine is one of the most complicated machines ever engineered by man, the concept is actually fairly simple.
		However, some turbo-jet engines are not fitted with starter motors at all, but direct the air obtained from an external source, or from an engine that is running, through non-return valves and nozzles onto the turbine blades.

	Gas Turbine Engine Collecting and Operating Home Page
		Gas turbines for collecting or hobby uses fall into three distinct categories, firstly there are commercially produced engines which take the form of industrial or aerospace units.
		A second form of gas turbine engine can be constructed by making use of a complete automotive turbo-charger unit, it is possible to add a combustion system to an otherwise virtually unmodified turbo to create a cheap and simple demonstration gas turbine.
		These engines are the most common form of gas turbine a subset of which are APUs or stationary small power plants, it is this type of engine which is the main focus of this website.

	GAS ENGINE - LoveToKnow Article on GAS ENGINE
		Gas engines operating on the Otto cycle are usually of the single acting open cylinder type up to about 200 b.h.p., but for the larger engines closed cylinders of the double acting type are used.
		The governing of large gas engines, too, is now effected so asj to keep up continuity of impulses by the method either of throttling the charge inlet or by varying the point of admission of gas alone or air and gas mixed.
		Ai and A are inlet valves for gas and air.

	GAS TURBINE ENGINE TYPES AND CONSTRUCTION
		There are two primary means of classifying gas turbine engines: (1) by the type of compressor used and (2) by how the power is used.
		Most gas turbines of modern design use the dual-entry compressor to reduce engine diameter.
		A plenum (an enclosure in which air is at a pressure greater than that outside the enclosure) chamber is also required for dual-entry compressors, since the air must enter the engine at almost right angles to the engine axis.

	Homebuilt Gas Turbine FAQ
		THE HOMEBUILT GAS-TURBINE ENGINE FAQ Foreword on safety 1.
		However, don't be tempted to run your engine in an enclosed space -- there's a very real risk of setting fire to objects some distance away from the engine and a risk of explosion or asphyxiation from the gases produced.
		Most engines will need to be producing a certain amount of compressor output before they will sustain (keep running) so having this gauge helps you to know when to remove your starter (the leaf blower).

	Building A Primitive Turbine Engine
		It doesn't normally run hot enough that the turbine can be seen to glow in daylight, so I looked around for a problem and found that the PVC air pipe was trying to blow off again, and was leaking air badly.
		Someone on the turbo turbine mailing list is using a homemade air motor running on compressor bleed air to power a generator.
		I also found that there is an air leak from the joint between the adaptor plate and the turbine inlet.

	GAS TURBINE ENGINE
		In this variation, the turbine exhaust gas is passed through a heat exchanger, called the regenerator, where some of the energy in the gas is transferred to the air coming from the compressor and going to the combustor.
		In stationary gas turbines, such as those used for distributed electricity generation, the efficiency of the engine is improved by adding a regenerator, as shown in the following diagram:
		The principles and processes equations for the compressor, burner, and turbine (processes 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4) are the same as for the open Brayton cycle engine.

	Gas-Turbine Jet Engine: The Gokart
		When the engine is idling the wastegate will be open, allowing the gases to bypass the power turbine -- but when the throttle is increased above idle the wastegate will be closed and all the gasses will be made to flow through the turbine.
		As you can see from the pictures on my gas-turbine engine page, the prototype of my engine is rather large with a huge vertical combustion chamber.
		Another thing I'm not sure about is the amount of back-pressure that a stalled power turbine might produce when the kart is stationary and the engine is at idle.

	Pushby Queue :: Gas turbine engine motorcycle.
		The difference is that a torque converter has hydraulic fluid in it and the T-63 Allison Gas Turbine (GM) has only air however air behaves hydraulicly.
		A turbine engine on the other hand increases in horse power as it accelerates making it more capable of higher speeds and quicker acceleration.
		I figured it had to be an axial flow turbine since they convert thrust to horse power thru the gear box much better than a true turbine powerplant would.
