Title: Diagram the major components of a gas turbine and explain its purpose.
Course: Fundamentals of Power Generation (20904-I) > Section: Exploring Turbines

Diagram should include

- the components
  - compressor
  - combustor
  - turbine/blades/shaft/vanes
  - casing

- an explanation outlining the overall function of a gas turbine and conversion of chemical potential energy of fuel to thermal energy through combustion
- an explanation outlining the overall function of a gas turbine and conversion of chemical potential energy of fuel and then to mechanical energy by expansion of hot gases through the turbine.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What makes a gas turbine turn?
- Would gas turbines turn without heat?
