there is a mathematical formula to figure the actual power measured in Inchpounds of torque for both types of turbine engines. due to the light weight of the engine and the very high speeds in which they operate they are very efficient compared to other type of power plants generally the rough power to weight ratio of a typical aircraft turbine engine is around 85 to 95% output power compared to the actual weight of the type engine used.the exception to this would be a turbo-fan engine used on high speed aircraft which the power output is measured in footpounds of thrust

What is difference between a geothermal and thermal power plant?
The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.+++They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.
Where are ratchet mechanisms used?
Ratchet mechanisms used in Gas power plant for Gas Turbine. (like Barring gear in steam turbine).
Steam turbine and internal combustion gas engine for power generation?
Yes, they are both used for power generation
In thermal power generation part the steam came from turbine condensed and again resend to steam conversionIn this part my doubt is why return steam need to be cooled?
The low pressure steam from the last stage of the steam turbine is condensed so that it can be pumped back to the steam raising units at high pressure, as water. You can't compress steam as it would condense in the compressor. The only way to use steam as a gas in a gas turbine would be if it was supercritical, but this would mean operating at temperatures well above the limits for most engineering materials, and steam at these conditions would be very corrosive. This type of reactor cycle using a gas turbine has been considered using helium as the working fluid, and it may be built as the "pebble bed" reactor, or it may not. I think you need to understand more of thermodynamics. Read the Wikipedia entry for the "Rankine Cycle", see link below
What is theConstruction difference between stream turbine and gas turbine?
gas turbines and gas engines are different in mechanic designes uses diffrent liquid for engine we use flemmable gas we use for turbine liquide flemmable but they need air both gas turbines and gas engines are different in mechanic designes uses diffrent liquid for engine we use flemmable gas we use for turbine liquide flemmable but they need air both answer by nailiyoucef05@yahoo.fr I dont think so. Gas engine works as the same principle of a petrol engine. And in gas turbine gas is burned and high velocity gas is passed through the turbine. A gas engine is an internal combustion engine and have no turbines. alamm2@asme.org
