What are the applications of gas turbines?
By far the most important use of gas turbines is in aviation, where they provide the motive power for jet propulsion. Because of the significance of this application and the diversity of modern jet engines, the subject will be dealt with at length in a separate section of the article.
Which one is not application of gas turbine?
2. Which of the following is not used in gas turbine power plant? Explanation: Natural gas itself or mixture of natural gas and air is used as working medium in gas turbine power plant. Condenser is a device or arrangement used to condense low pressure steam already used by turbine.
Which of the following is used in gas turbine power plant?
Explanation: Natural gas and liquid petroleum fuel are among the two fuels used in a gas turbine.
Which field type can be used in gas turbine?
4. What are the major field(s) of application of gas turbine? Explanation: A Gas Turbine has applications in nearly all fields, the major ones being in the fields of Aviation, Oil & Gas industry, Marine propulsion. 5.
Which fuel type can be used in a gas turbine?
One further advantage of gas turbines is their fuel flexibility. They can be adapted to use almost any flammable gas or light distillate petroleum products such as gasoline (petrol), diesel and kerosene (paraffin) which happen to be available locally, though natural gas is the most commonly used fuel.
Which are the two kinds of fuels?
Chemical
| Primary (natural) | Secondary (artificial) | |
|---|---|---|
| Solid fuels | wood, coal, peat, dung, etc. | coke, charcoal |
| Liquid fuels | petroleum | diesel, gasoline, kerosene, LPG, coal tar, naphtha, ethanol |
| Gaseous fuels | natural gas | hydrogen, propane, methane, coal gas, water gas, blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, CNG |
What is the most common type of turbine?
Turbines
- Francis turbine. The most commonly used turbine in Hydro-Québec’s power system.
- Kaplan turbine. Austrian engineer Viktor Kaplan (1876-1934) invented this turbine.
- Propeller turbine. Since they can reach very high rotation speeds, propeller turbines are effective for low heads.
- Pelton turbine.
How many types of reaction turbines are there?
