In a gas turbine engine propelling jet generated Expansion of hot gases resulting in a conversion of potential energy (pressure) into kinetic energy (velocity). The process of energy conversion in a multistage turbine consists of a number of successive processes in individual stages compressed heated gas at an initial velocity passes through blade to blade channels of nozzle assembly where in course of expansion part of available heat drop converted into kinetic energy of exhaust flow further gas expansion conversion of heat drop into useful work take place in blade to blade channels of rotor the gas flow acting on rotor blades develops torque on turbine's shaft as a result absolute velocity of gas reduced the lower this velocity larger part of available gas energy that converted into mechanical work on shaft the rotor blades receive forces produced a change in direction of gas velocity flowing around them (impulse flow effect) by acceleration of gas flow relative to movement in blade to blade channels (reaction flow effect).
