• 50: Earliest records of Hero''s engine (aeolipile). It most likely served no practical purpose, and was rather more of a curiosity; nonetheless, it demonstrated an important principle of physics that all modern turbine engines rely on. • 1000: The "Trotting Horse Lamp" (Chinese:, zŏumădēng) was used by the Chinese at lantern fairs as early as the Northern Song dynasty. When the lamp is lit, th
Thermodynamic Cycle of a Gas Turbine. Gas turbines operate on Brayton Cycle. 25% of energy production in the world is based on gas-turbine power plants. This percentage will increase further when there is a decrease in energy production using fossil fuels. The efficiency of open-cycles can be increased by up to 38%.
Working Principle of Thermal Power Plants. Thermal power station''s working principle is "Heat released by burning fuel which produces (working fluid) (steam) from water. Generated steam runs the turbine coupled to a generator which produces electrical energy in Thermal Power Plants. Major components of a Thermal Power Plant.
