Axial compressor functioning of GT engines

Question

Accepted Answer

Axial compressor is a key component in gas turbine engines that compresses air before combustion.

Axial compressor consists of multiple stages of rotating blades and stationary vanes.
Each stage compresses the air and increases its pressure.
The compressed air is then mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber.
The hot gases produced by combustion expand and drive the turbine, which in turn drives the compressor and the generator.
Efficiency of the axial compressor is crucial for the overall performance of the gas turbine engine.

Accepted Answer

stage consists of a row of rotating blades called the rotor, which are connected to the central shaft and a row of stationary or fixed ...

Accepted Answer

All turbine engines have a compressor to increase the pressure of the incoming air before it enters the combustor.
