The gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid (air) to drive the engine and propeller,
A gas turbine engine is a device that is designed to convert the thermal energy of a fuel into some form of useful power, such as mechanical (or shaft) power or a high- speed thrust of a jet.
Knowing the optimum required LP admis-sion/LP crossover pressure made it possible for GE to match the fixed IP turbine with a newly designed series of standardized low-pressure turbine sections with different last-stage buckets and annulus areas for different condensing pressures.

The turbine section of a gas turbine engine is located aft, or downstream, of the combustion chamber. Specifically, it is directly behind the combustion chamber outlet. The turbine assembly consists of two basic elements: turbine inlet guide vanes and turbine blades.

Hot HP Turbine Section gases are reheated by combustion of additional fuel (3a). Reheated gases enter into LP turbine section (3a to 4). Example: GE-Alstom GT24/26. Generally for low-pressure ratio units with high firing temperatures.

Cross-Sectional View and Heat Flux Distribution of a Cooled Vane and Blade. Due to the complex flow, designers need data that will aid them in the development of efficient cooling designs. They need detailed hot gas path heat transfer distributions. Heat transfer and film cooling data are also needed for the airfoils.

The combination of the shaft, compressor and turbine is called the turbomachinery. The "Exploded View" button shows you how these parts go together. Between the compressor and the turbine flow path is the combustion section or burner, which is colored red. This is where the fuel and the air are mixed and burned.
Cross-Section Designer provides the user with an editable version of the engine gaspath based on output from a cycle specification program in the form of geometric and thermodynamic parameters.
