Introduction
Gas Turbine engine derives its name from the turbine, which is at the heart of the work producing mechanism of the engine. A fluid with large kinetic energy content is allowed to hit a freely rotating set of blades, certain amount
- f energy can be extracted from the passing fluid
as shaft power
