Abstract
The induction and exhaust systems of diesel and turbine prime movers differ considerably in volume for a given power output, primarily due to the difference in combustion chamber design, and mode of transmitting the power or energy to the moving parts. For an equivalent power output, a simple cycle gas turbine requires more than three times the air intake of an oil (diesel) engine. In the diesel engine, the air volume ingested is designed to be that which gives the best explosive mixture and power, whereas in the gas turbine engine some of the air is required mainly to control temperature in and around the combustion chamber.
