GAS TURBINES AND JET ENGINES 5.1 Introduction
169C H A P T E R F I V EGAS TURBINES AND JET IntroductionHistory records over a century and a half of interest in and work on the gas , the history of the gas turbine as a viable energy conversion device beganwith Frank Whittle's patent award on the jet engine in 1930 and his static test of a jetengine in 1937. Shortly thereafter, in 1939, Hans von Ohain led a Germandemonstration of jet-engine-powered flight, and the Brown Boveri company intro-duced a 4-MW gas- turbine -driven electrical power system in Neuchatel, success of the gas turbine in replacing the reciprocating engine as a power plant forhigh-speed aircraft is well known.
5.4 Realistic Simple-Cycle Gas Turbine Analysis The preceding analysis of the Air Standard cycle assumes perfect turbomachinery, an unachievable but meaningful ideal, and room-temperature heat capacities. Realistic quantitative performance information …
