Question

Automotive gas turbines have been under development for decades but have not been commonly used in automobiles. Yet helicopters routinely use gas turbines. Explore why different types of engines are used in these respective applications. Compare selection factors such as performance, power-to-weight ratio, space requirements, fuel availability, and environmental impact.

Required:
Summarize your findings in a report with at least three references.

Answer 1

Gas turbines in Helicopters require lesser space.

Step-by-step explanation:

[1] In terms of Space Requirements:

The gas used in helicopters requires lesser space as compared to Automotive gas turbines. The gas in automobile have higher thermal efficiency.

[2]. In terms of Environmental impact:

The occurrence of environmental solution is very slim when used in helicopters' engines.

[3]. In terms of power-to-weight ratio:

The vibrations in engines of helicopters make it to have lesser efficiency as compared to automobile.

[4]. In terms of Fuel availability:

Fuel is available. Automobile can make use of gas as fuel.
