Components Of Gas
Turbine?
Gas turbines have three main parts:
i) Air compressor
ii) Combustion chamber
iii) Turbine

Air compressor:
The air compressor and turbine are mounted at
either end on a common shaft, with the combustion
chamber between them.
Gas turbines are not self starting. A starting motor
is used.
The air compressor sucks in air and compresses it,
thereby increasing its pressure.

Combustion chamber:
In the combustion chamber, the compressed air
combines with fuel and the resulting mixture is
burnt.
The greater the pressure of air, the better the fuel
air mixture burns.
Modern gas turbines usually use liquid fuel, but
they may also use gaseous fuel, natural gas or gas
produced artificially by gasification of a solid fuel.

Turbine:
Hot gases move through a multistage gas turbine.
Like in steam turbine, the gas turbine also has
stationary and moving blades.
The stationary blades
guide the moving gases to the rotor blades
adjust its velocity.
The shaft of the turbine is coupled to a generator.
