Why does increased turbine temperature cause increased efficiency?
It has struck me, there are a few things in flying that I know happen but I don't know why in enough detail - knowledge is the next best thing to experience and I don't have a huge amount of the later given the economic climate. I have vague ideas and can make educated guesses but I don't REALLY understand why. Could someone please explain to me why increased gas turbine temps cause an increase in overall efficiency. Is it an after/indirect effect because of increased firing temps back in combustion which cause improved work output?
