Quit Fundamentals of Gas Turbine4 Gas Turbine Operating PrinciplesLearning Objectives Typical Gas Turbine Engine The Leaming Objectives describe what you will be able to do aiter you complete this lesson. You will: + explain the physical laws affecting, gas turbine performance + explain the relationship between the atmosphere (air) and gas turbine operation + explain the Brayton Cycle 4) Menu! >Fuel Rotor Shaft Basic Single Compressor Gas Turbine All gas turbines are different types of the same basic single compressor gas turbine. ‘To better understand gas turbine operation, several basic physical laws must first be explained. ‘These physical laws explain the actions of the compressed air, the burning gases and the forces created from burning the fuel and air mixture. These laws are: ‘+ Newton's Laws of Motion + Laws of Thermodynamics * Boyle's Law * Charles’ Law QUIT
