Abstract Electronic devices comprising of non-linear components (diodes, transistors, transformers, etc.) produce some number of harmonics in our power systems creating various voltage distortions [7]. As a result, several technical problems may arise for the device such as overheating and damage to sensitive equipment which would most likely lead... Continue Reading

The major components of a gas turbine are compressor, combustors, turbine and generator. It operates by continuous drawing in fresh air into the compressor. The Air is then compressed to a high pressure in the compressor and discharge into the combustion. Here the air is missed with gas and burns continuous once ignited to increase its energy...
