🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic compressor designs used in gas turbine engines • Difference between radial (centrifugal) flow and axial flow of air • How reciprocating and lobe type machines are typically used in marine and industrial settings

💭 Think About

• Which compressor types are designed for a continuous flow of air suitable for gas turbines, rather than piston-like back‑and‑forth motion? • Among the options, which pair names the two compressor designs commonly shown in basic gas turbine diagrams in engineering texts? • Think about whether gas turbines usually use positive-displacement machines (like pistons or lobes) or dynamic compressors that rely on high-speed rotating blades.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure both selected types are widely recognized as standard gas turbine compressor types • Confirm that neither type is normally classified as a reciprocating (piston-type) machine • Verify that both types in your choice handle air in a continuous, high‑speed flow path rather than trapping fixed volumes of air.
