    Thermodynamic Processes: An Isentropic Compression, An Isobaric (Constant Pressure)

    The marine gas turbine operates on the Brayton cycle, which consists of four processes: 1) Isentropic compression of air in a compressor, 2) Isobaric combustion of fuel mixed with compressed air, 3) Isentropic expansion of hot combustion gases through a turbine, and 4) Heat rejection of exhaust gases. The compressed air is mixed with fuel and burned at over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, generating high pressure gases that power the turbine. The turbine spins a generator to produce energy and drives the compressor to draw in more pressurized air for combustion.

    Marine Gas Turbine

    In an ideal gas turbine, gases undergo four


    thermodynamic processes: an isentropic compression, an isobaric (constant pressure)
    combustion, an isentropic expansion and heat rejection. All together, these make up the
    Brayton cycle.

    At hundreds of miles per hour, the compressor takes air into the engine, pressurizes it,
    and feeds it to the combustion chamber. The combustion system, which is normally
    composed of a ring of fuel injectors that deliver a steady stream of fuel into combustion
    chambers where it mixes with the air. The combination is burned at temperatures exceeding
    2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The combustion process generates a high-temperature, high-
    pressure gas stream, which enters and expands through the turbine portion. The turbine, is a
    complex arrangement of stationary and revolving aerofoil-section blades. The whirling blades
    are spun as hot combustion gas expands through the turbine. The whirling blades have two
    purposes: they drive the compressor, which draws more pressured air into the combustion
    area, and they spin a generator, which generates energy.

     ISENTROPIC COMPRESSION – ambient air is drawn into the compressor, where


    it is pressurized.
     ISOBARIC PROCESS – the compressed air then runs through a combustion
    chamber, where fuel is burned, heating that air—a constant-pressure process, since the
    chamber is open to flow in and out.
     ISENTROPIC EXPANSION – the heated, pressurized air then gives up its energy,
    expanding through a turbine (or series of turbines). Some of the work extracted by the
    turbine is used to drive the compressor.
     CONSTANT PRESSURE HEAT REJECTION– Heat is released into the
    atmosphere once the energy has been consumed. The cycle repeats itself after this
    stage, starting with the compression stage.
