There is no doubt that energy is one of the essential elements of life. In today's life, the energy requirements for daily activities are gradually increasing, resulting in the need to generate more generations of energy. Power is generated by a rotating instrument called a turbine. Cengel and Cimbala (2010) suggested that the turbine is a rotating device that transmutes the machine-driven work of a revolving shaft into useful power. The turbine is widely used in power generation to provide electricity in large industries and domestic use. There are three main types of turbines: wind turbines, steam turbines and gas turbines (see Figure 1 in Annex 1). The first type of turbine is the gas turbine. It is called a combustion turbine to transform fuel into valuable energy in the form of a mechanical rotating shaft or the high-speed thrust of an aircraft. A combustion turbine includes a gas generator segment and a power conversion region. The generator segment consists of a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine, which extract adequate power to drive the compressor. Therefore, this results in high temperature and pressure at the turbine outlet (Bathie, 1996). Gas turbines are classified into two distinct groups: heavy-duty frame-type gas turbines and turboprop engines. According to Bathie (1996), the frame entities of a gas turbine are also called heavy duty industrial turbine, the largest power beam device entities ranging from 3 MW to 480 MW in a simple gas cycle with a yield of 30 to 46%. The design of the frame-type gas turbine consists of thick-walled separator casings on level center pins, cover bearings, large diameter dimension for ignition, wide frontal area and of a section of a thick blade of blades and stators.
