There are two types of gas turbine open cycle and closed cycle. By far the greatest proportion of
gas turbines built is the open cycle type. The closed cycle gas turbine requires a cool er (cf. the
condenser of a steam turbine) to enable the working fluid to circulate through the system and this
allows exotic fluids, e.g. mercury, to be considered, as done in a nuclear cycle.
17.1 THE GAS TURBINE CYCLE
The gas turbine is similar to the internal combustion engine inasmuch as it is not usually a ‘heat
engine’. The exception to this is the closed cycle gas turbine shown in Fig. 17.1(a). In this device the
working fluid, air or a similar ‘perfect gas’ ...
