This overview of gas turbines and fluid machinery elucidates the fundamental principles and components of dynamic fluid machines. Gas turbines, consisting of a compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine, convert heat energy from fuel into mechanical energy, showcasing advantages like high power-to-weight ratios. While efficient, they are costly compared to reciprocating engines. The distinctions among radial, axial, and mixed flow machines are highlighted, as well as their applications in various vehicles and power plants. Understanding their performance and operational cycles is key for advancements in aerospace engineering.

Piston engine vs Gas turbine engine Advantages: Gas turbine engines have a great power-to-weight ratio compared to reciprocating engines. The flow of the fluid in the process can be classified as steady flow. Disadvantages: The main disadvantage of gas turbines is that, compared to a reciprocating engine of the same size, they are expensive, and they prefer a constant rather than a fluctuating load.
