A steam turbine uses water vapor which is called steam to make mechanical energy where a gas turbine uses any gas (may be methane, natural gas, flue gas) to make mechanical energy.
Gas turbine works on bryton cycle where as steam turbine works Rankine cycle. Construction, operation of a gas turbine are entirely different to steam turbine. Gas turbine has a compressor to...
A jet engine is a gas turbine -- natural gas causes it to spin; a steam turbine is of heavier construction, with many vanes in decreasing diameter and pressure from steam passing through it causes it...
there is a mathematical formula to figure the actual power measured in Inchpounds of torque for both types of turbine engines. due to the light weight of the engine and the very high speeds in which...
