What is Gas Turbine?

A gas turbine, also known as a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine that uses the energy of hot gas to turn a turbine which generates electricity or provides mechanical power. It works by compressing air, mixing it with fuel, burning the mixture, and then directing the hot, high-pressure exhaust gases through turbine blades, causing them to rotate. Gas turbines are commonly used in power generation, aircraft propulsion (jet engines), and mechanical drives such as pumps and compressors.
