turbine compressor
21Centrifugal compressor — Centrifugal compressors, sometimes termed radial compressors, are a sub class of dynamic axisymmetric work absorbing turbomachinery.[1] Centrifugal impeller with a highly polished surface likely to improve performance …
22Gas turbine — Microturbine redirects here. For turbines in electricity, see Small wind turbine. For turbines driven by the flow of gas, see Turbine. A typical axial flow gas turbine turbojet, the J85, sectioned for display. Flow is left to right, multistage… …
23Axial compressor — Axial compressors are rotating, aerofoil based compressors in which the working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation. This is in contrast with centrifugal, axi centrifugal and mixed flow compressors where the air may enter… …
24Gas compressor — A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are… …
25Gas turbine locomotive — A Gas turbine locomotive is a locomotive powered by a gas turbine. The majority of gas turbine locomotives have had electric transmission but mechanical transmission has also been used, particularly in the early days. The advantage of using gas… …
26National Gas Turbine Establishment — Coordinates: 51°16′59″N 0°48′26″W / 51.282957°N 0.807098°W / 51.282957; 0.807098 The National Gas Turbine Establishment …
27Radial turbine — Concept The difference between axial and radial turbines consists in the way the air flows through the components (compressor and turbine). Whereas for an axial turbine the rotor is impacted by the air flow, for a radial turbine, the flow is… …
28brake-turbine-type heat exchanger — A type of cold air unit in which the charge air from the engine compressor passes through the ram air cooled heat exchanger to enter the turbine through which it expands. This results in a pressure and a temperature drop. Mounted on the common… …
29free power turbine — An arrangement in which a turbine, or stage of turbines, in a gas turbine engine does not drive the compressor. Free turbines are used to drive the reduction gears for the propeller in a turboprop engine or the transmission and rotor of a… …
30gas turbine engine — An internal combustion engine where high energy is released from the fuel in a constant pressure cycle. It has a turbine rotated by expanding hot gases. In its usual form, it consists of a rotary air compressor with an air intake, one or more… …
