· Gas turbine unit mainly comprises compressor module, turbine module, combustor and many auxiliary components.

· Gas turbines find wide application as aeroengines and in power generation.

· In power application, all the power developed by the turbine is used to drive the compressor, generator and the auxiliary systems of the power plant.

· In aeroengines, the turbine develops power only to drive the compressor and the remaining energy of the combustion gas is used to generate thrust for aircraft propulsion.

· Gas turbines are available in a range of sizes from micro scale to very large units.

· Gas turbine units have high power to weight ratio, small frontal area and high efficiency.
