Surging in gasturbine means that the pressure at the delivery end of the gas turbine compressor becomes very high (as a result of reduced flow at the compressor outlet). When this happens, the compressor pressure at the delivery end increases as the flow decreases upto an extent after which the pressure does not increase and there is a flow reversal. This flow reversal releases the sudden pressure that developed on account of reduced flow. The flow reversal is accomplanied with a loud noise and tremendous vibration. Surging affects the whole machine and if it is of high magnitude, the gas turbine can be ripped apart. Anti-surge devices (Bleed valves) are installed which do not allow the flow to reduce even on low speeds and keep a certain air flow from the compressor during times of low air requirement (startup and shutdown) Surging in gasturbine means that the pressure at the delivery end of the gas turbine compressor becomes very high (as a result of reduced flow at the compressor outlet).

The gas (working fluid) having flown through the turbine does some work on the turbine, converting its thermal energy into mechanical work produced by the turbine and coming out as an expanding gas with lower temperature and pressure.
My dadd uses turbine to heat the gas of hiss engine after he stopped at the gas stop and didn't find any gas left. ( This may be a weird looking sentence for turbine,but at least I got an A on it. )
Ratchet mechanisms used in Gas power plant for Gas Turbine. (like Barring gear in steam turbine).

the equipment needed for investment casting of gas turbine buckets and blades are i dont know you know
