Combustion and Gas Turbines

This lecture delves into the principles of combustion and gas turbines, exploring the conversion of heat into mechanical work through the Brayton cycle. It discusses the efficiency of gas turbines, the use of different fuels, the impact of combustion on the environment, and the implementation of combined cycles to maximize energy production. The instructor explains the thermodynamic processes involved, the design considerations for gas turbines, and the applications of gas turbines in various industries, including aviation and power generation.
