Tag: Turbine Engines

Turbine engines are a type of internal combustion engine that convert fuel into mechanical energy using a rotating turbine. They operate on the principle of the Brayton cycle, where air is compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited to produce high-temperature, high-pressure exhaust gases. These gases expand and pass through a turbine, causing it to spin and generate thrust or mechanical power. Turbine engines are commonly used in aircraft, power generation, and various industrial applications due to their ability to produce high power-to-weight ratios and efficient operation at high speeds. There are different types of turbine engines, including turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and turboshafts, each designed for specific operational requirements and applications.
