The Gas Turbine, an Internal Combustion Prime-Mover #266299

Heat engines using the Brayton cycle and having a combustion chamber with internal combustion, but using a motor similar to an ordinary steam engine, instead of a turbine Wheel as in our case, have been built or planned in a multitude of forms, and the type of combustion chamber proposed for any one of these is of course suitable for the gas turbine. The relation of these engines to the gas turbine we shall discuss more fully in Chap. 2.
