This chapter describes the thermodynamics of gas turbine cycles, starting from the simple cycle and including all the modifications and improvements that have been proposed and developed over the years. This chapter is aimed at understanding the principles on which gas turbines are based and operated. All the different configurations will be described and studied, considering their efficiency and specific power output and the main technological issues with their advantages and drawbacks. The contribution of the main gas turbine parameters to the efficiency and specific power output is discussed, and shown in equations and graphs.

Abstract
This chapter describes the thermodynamics of gas turbine cycles, starting from the simple cycle and including all the modifications and improvements that have been proposed and developed over the years. This chapter is aimed at understanding the principles on which gas turbines are based and operated. All the different configurations will be described and studied, considering their efficiency and specific power output and the main technological issues with their advantages and drawbacks. The contribution of the main gas turbine parameters to the efficiency and specific power output is discussed, and shown in equations and graphs.File in questo prodotto:
