99. How does a gas turbine work?
A flue gas turbine is a rotary prime mover used to convert flue gas into mechanical energy. It transforms the pressure energy and part of the thermal energy of the flue gas into mechanical energy that drives the rotor of the turbine. Inside the flue gas turbine, the flue gas expands within the stationary blades, resulting in a decrease in pressure and temperature as well as an increase in flow velocity. The gas then enters the moving blades, where it is ejected at high speed; the moving blades, under the influence of this expanding gas, cause the rotor to rotate, thereby recovering the pressure energy and part of the thermal energy contained in the flue gas.
