THE OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE OF TURBINE ENGINE 2Operation and Performance of Turbine EngineThe turbine engine is a system that is composed of numerous auxiliary subsystems and turbomachinery. Air gets into the compressor section which is propelled by a component of the turbine and is located on the equivalent shaft. Air leaves from the compressor at a pressure that ishigh and gets into the chamber of combustion, where the fuel’s chemical energy is converted intoa thermal energy hence releasing the gas of combustion at a temperature that matches to the temperature of the turbine inlet design. The gas of combustion expands in the following components of the turbines where the total energy is converted partially into the exit kinetic energy and shaft work Turbine Engine Operating CyclesThe four constant and continuous events are the exhaust, intake, expansion, and compression. These cycles are discussed depending on their application on the engine of the gas turbine.Intake cycle: During the cycle of intake, air gets in at constant volume and ambient pressure. Theair will then escape from the intake at a decreased volume and increased pressure[ CITATION And09 \l 1033 ]. Compression cycle: This cycle takes place at the compressor where the air is gotten from the intake at a higher pressure which is more than the ambient and a lower volume. Air is then compressed by the compressor and then leaves the compressor at a decreased volume and increased pressure. This action is as a result of compressor’s mechanical action. Expansion: This cycle takes place in the chamber of combustion through fuel burning which increases the volume of air through heating which the pressure remaining constant. The gases
