Abstract: Gas turbines are among the most important energy conversion systems used in aerospace propulsion, power generation, and industrial applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of turbine and compressor design principles, thermodynamic operation, cooling technologies, aerodynamic instabilities, and axial compressor design methodologies. Particular emphasis is placed on compressor staging, velocity-triangle analysis, turbine cooling methods, stall mechanisms, and surge phenomena. The paper synthesizes fundamental design approaches and provides a structured framework suitable for engineering education and preliminary turbomachinery design studies.
