A gas turbine constitutes a type of internal combustion engine that generates mechanical power by converting the energy of high-temperature, high-pressure gases produced through fuel combustion. The fundamental components of a gas turbine encompass a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine. Air is drawn into the engine and compressed, then mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber. The resultant high-energy exhaust gases expand through turbine blades, causing them to rotate and thereby delivering mechanical output, whether for direct propulsion or to drive generators, compressors, or other systems.
