Abstract
Gas Turbines (GT) are thermally rated air breathing engine which generates motive power from the combustion of fuel and expansion of gases. Gas turbines are employed in different spares of our daily lives, yet many people are unaware of the cutting-edge technologies used in the creation and operation of these engines. This article explains the principle involved with emphasis on the operation and performance analysis. The application of GT ranges from its use in power generation to aircraft propulsion, ship propulsion, gas compression in pipeline or tankers and others. GT is hugely affected by ambient conditions such as increase or decrease in ambient temperature. The operation of GT follows the Bryton cycle and detail is given in the paper. The effect of increase in ambient temperature on GT performance has been analyzed and discussed. As the ambient temperature increase, the mass flow reduces and therefore the performance of the GT drops.
