#turbine rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
supertype: #rotary_engine an internal-combustion engine in which power is transmitted directly to rotating components
part: #blade.rotating_mechanism #rotor_coil #stator_coil
subtype: #gas_turbine__gasturbine turbine that converts the chemical energy of a liquid fuel into mechanical energy by internal combustion; gaseous products of the fuel (which is burned in compressed air) are expanded through a turbine
subtype: #hydroelectric_turbine__hydroelectricturbine turbine consisting of a large and efficient version of a water wheel used to drive an electric generator
subtype: #Francis_turbine a type of hydroelectric turbine
subtype: #impulse_turbine__impulseturbine a turbine that is driven by jets direct against the blades
subtype: #reaction_turbine a turbine with blades arranged to develop torque from gradual decrease of steam pressure from inlet to exhaust
subtype: #steam_turbine__steamturbine turbine in which steam strikes blades and makes them turn
