How Gas Turbines Work (Combustion Turbine Working Principle)

Gas turbines are versatile and efficient engines that have revolutionised power generation and propulsion systems worldwide. In this comprehensive video, we look at how gas turbines work, their main parts, and their various designs.

You will learn:

• The fundamental concept behind gas turbines and the Brayton cycle.
• The key components of a gas turbine, including the compressor, combustor, turbine, and exhaust system.
• The different types of gas turbine and their unique characteristics.
• The diverse applications of gas turbines in power generation, aviation, and other industries.
• Gas turbine efficiency.

This video is taken from our Power Engineering Fundamentals video course:

High quality video! I've read many books on combined cycle power plants but this is the best way to learn the material.

[fauziyaata]

Wow! This is the best explanation on how a gas turbines work. Thank you so much!

[saifudeenanum]

Excellent explanation and illustration of concepts. 👏

[israelapeh-pefo]

Thank you, John.
This video is easy to understand and even more exciting is the 3D animations.
More grace, Sir.

Hi John, would you be interested in doing a video about an air separation unit that extracts nitrogen, oxygen and argon ? There is enough detail in them to make an interesting upload, especially with the format you use and excellent teaching voice you have. ☺️🙏🏼

Best video ever watched for Gas turbines, Well done

[rohmatakbar]

thank you for this video, i struggle to understand the fundamental until the real turbine chapter. really comprehensive explanation.

[sean]

Thanks John. All your videos are excellent, and have been a big help for me.

[diyari-jabbar]

Very interesting!! Thanks for shearing

[alshabili]

Thank you for your explanation turbine principle, very clear, and easy way to understand, thank you very much again, where I can learn more about turbine complements and control

[Enezari-oussama]

Hi very nice video when I find such videos u don't need to create its own content perfectly perfect very good

[hopefullysoonaweldingengineer]

Hello thank you for that beautiful informative video. But isn't those stages of blades supposed to be fixed at 180 degree to each others? Should not there be one rotary stage and one 180 degree oriented fixed stsge?

[thomaslecky]

At 9:32, where direction do the compressor blades rotate to compress the air? May be obvious but I can’t be quite sure.

[bryceh]

how does the compressor abd fan turn prior to the turbine moving? What does the interal axes lok like?

[hassantiamiyu]

I need a course in gas turbine power generation

[Ali-fuhl]

We need explanation about steam turbine

[OleksiiL]

I bought your course on Udemy...
Where can I find 3D engine model needed for course?
It was free as far as I know. May be it's not free now. But I see price is too high if I need model just to learn course.

I had an idea, am an inventor of a new type of high efficiency power plant, i design useing natural material characteristics and bunch them in the design roundabout. It’s uses sun rays in the 4 wave length types and it at surfaces and under to keep that 2, 000 degree below even with opening insulated. The the chamber shaped to play with the law of mass, meaning a pilot light below gas flame enough to keep the mass in the zone, and wetting down for steam 10-15% the mass recover that in second, meaning you can harvest steam almost continuously with temperature control pilot light, sun rays 4 types and the earth is natural oven, sama as humidity temperature keep the heat not escaping above and it’s a hybrid sun during the day and low gas use at night .. I tryed to give the idea to G.E. CEO wrote a nice email back long ago, saying like the idea but GM policies they not allowed to accept outside idea, has to be through a company’s I could form. Told him nah, I dabble in many area of more to my interests it’s a roundabout, I love cracking problems, got tons

[veluprabhakaran]

Nice presentation. Its very helpful for my study. Can i your contact details
