- In turbochargers a turbine is directly connected to a compressor. The power harvested by the turbine is used to power the compressor. In the figure below a turbine runs on steam and powers a compressor on air. Air can be considered a perfect gas with k = 1.34, R = 0.28 kJ/kgk and cp = 1.02 kJ/kgK.
