gas turbine
A rotary engine that draws energy from a fuel-air mixture. A compressor raises the pressure and temperature of the inlet air. The air is then moved into a burner, where fuel is injected and combusted to raise the temperature of the air. Power is produced when the heated, high-pressure mixture is expanded and cooled through the turbine.
