Direct Drive and Mechanical Drive
With land based industries, gas turbines can be used in either direct drie or
mechanical drie application!
With power generation, the gas turbine shaft is coupled to the generator shaft,
either directl" or ia a gearbox# $direct drie% application!A gearbox is necessar" in applications where the manufacturer offers the
pac&age for both '( and )( c"cle *+ert, +- applications! The gear box will
use roughl" ./ of the power deeloped b" the turbine in these cases!
For mechanical drive applications, the turbine module arrangement is
different! 0n these cases, the combination of compressor module, combustormodule, and turbine module is termed the gas generator! 1e"ond the turbineend of the gas generator is a freely rotating turbine! 0t ma" be one or morestages! 0t is not mechanicall" connected to the gas generator, but instead is
mechanicall" coupled, sometimes ia a gearbox, to the e2uipment it is driing!
Compressors and pumps are among the potential $drien% turbomachiner"items

Direct Drive and Mechanical Drive..The mechanical drie gas turbines are aailable in three configurations#
3! 4ingle spool5integral output shaft,
.! 4ingle spool5split output shaft, and
6! 7ual spool5split output shaft!
.0n a single spool-integral output shaft unit the output shaft is an extensionof the main shaft, which connects the compressor and turbine components!
The output shaft ma" be an extension of the turbine shaft or it ma" be an
extension of the compressor shaft!
.When the output drie shaft is an extension of the turbine component shaft itis referred to as a $ hot end drive!% 8i&ewise, when the output drie shaft isan extension of the compressor component shaft it is referred to as a $ coldend drive.

The +rayton cycle ,ith *ntercooling7 2eheating7 and 2egeneration
The wor& re2uired to compress a gas between two specified pressures can be
decreased b" carr"ing out the compression process in stages and cooling the gas in
between?that is, using multistage compression with intercooling!
As the number of stages is increased, the compression process becomes nearl"
isothermal at the compressor inlet temperature, and the compression wor&
decreases!
8i&ewise, the wor& output of a turbine operating between two pressure leels can be
increased b" expanding the gas in stages and reheating it in between?that is,utiliing multistage expansion with reheating! This is accomplished without raising the
maximum temperature in the c"cle!
As the number of stages is increased, the expansion process becomes nearl"
isothermal!
The foregoing argument is based on a simple principle# The steady-flow
compression or expansion work is proportional to the specific volume of the
fluid! Therefore, the specific olume of the wor&ing fluid should be as low as possible
during a compression process and as high as possible during an expansion process!
This is precisel" what intercooling and reheating accomplish!16

And the thermal efficiencyapproaches the theoretical limit %the

+oweer, the contribution of each additional stage to the thermal

)olutionFor two5stage compression and expansion, the
wor& input is minimied and the wor& output is
maximied when both stages of the compressor
and the turbine hae the same pressure ratio!
Thus,
Air enters each stage of the compressor at the same temperature, and each stage hasthe same isentropic efficienc" *3(( percent in this case-! Therefore, the temperature
*and enthalp"- of the air at the exit of each compression stage will be the same! A
similar argument can be gien for the turbine!
=nder these conditions, the wor& input to each stage of the compressor will be the

There are three types of a$ial flo, turbine# impulse, reaction, and a
combination of the two &nown as impulse5reaction!
0n the impulse type the total pressure drop across each stage occurs in thefixed nole guide anes, which, because of their conergent shape,
increase the gas elocit" while reducing the pressure! The gas is directed
onto the turbine blades which experience an impulse force caused b" the
impact of the gas on the blades!
0n the reaction type the fixed nole guide anes are designed to alter thegas flow direction without changing the pressure! The conerging blade
passages experience a reaction force resulting from the expansion and
acceleration of the gas!
Jormall" gas turbine engines do not use pure impulse or pure reaction
turbine blades but the impulsereaction combination *Figure5next slide-!The proportion of each principle incorporated in the design of a turbine is

Disadvantages !-
3! 0n spite of complete expansion, the thermal efficienc" of the 9T is lower than piston
engines because of lower temperatures and lower compressor efficienc" *max! ;(/
for the best rotar" compressors-!
.! Therefore, with a simple 9T unit *without a heat exchanger-, the sfc ma" be twicethat of aerage petrol engine and thrice that of diesel engine!
6! Automotie engines for most part run on part load! The efficienc" of 9T under part
load conditions is er" poor!
>! The speed of 9T rotor is er" high *greater than 6(((( rpm-! This necessitates a
large gear reduction!)! +igh speeds also result in high rotational inertia which creates difficulties in throttle
control due to time5lag!
'! +igh initial cost due to costl" materials and R K 7 and manufacturing cost! Presentl"
the cost is about twice that of petrol engines!
