gas turbine plant.
less
more
same
may be less or more depening upon speed
one air stream
two or more air streams
no air stream
solid fuel firing
compressor pressure ratio
highest pressure to exhaust pressure
inlet pressure to exhaust pressure
pressures across the turbine
gas turbine is a self-starting unit
gas turbine does not require huge quantity of water like steam plant
exhaust losses in gas turbine are high due to large mass flow rate
overall efficiency of gas turbine plant is lower than that of a reciprocating engine
