turbine engine

A turbine engine, often called a gas turbine or jet engine, is a device that generates power by burning fuel to produce high-speed exhaust gases. These gases spin a turbine connected to a shaft, which then drives a compressor to draw in and compress air. The compressed air mixes with fuel and ignites, creating hot gases that expand rapidly, pushing the turbine blades and generating thrust or mechanical energy. This process allows turbines to efficiently power aircraft, electricity generators, and other machinery by converting fuel energy into motion through a continuous cycle of compression, combustion, and expansion.
