difference across the engine. These engines are discussed in Section 17.3. In certain variants, e.g. the
turboprop and the fan engines, some shaft work is also taken out of the main shaft to drive the propeller
or fan. This modifies the design of the components and the power balances. A schematic of a turboprop
gas turbine is shown in Fig. 17.4.
Gas turbines are being increasingly used for power generation, when they are used in com bination
with steam turbines to make a CCGT power plant. A schemati c diagram of such a plant is shown in
Fig. 17.5(a). This has been much simplified, and usually more than one gas turbine is coupled to the
steam turbine. ...
