A gas turbine, also known as a jet engine or combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine that converts the energy from fuel into mechanical energy. It operates on the principle of the Brayton cycle, where air is compressed, mixed with fuel, combusted, and then expanded to produce thrust or mechanical power. ### Main Components of a Gas Turbine: 1. **Compressor**: This component compresses incoming air to a high pressure, increasing its density and temperature.
