A turbine that compresses air which is then mixed with fuel for combustion and expansion through a turbine section to generate relatively high power output for either mechanical drive or power generation.

A turbine in which liquid forces are driving the rotor by the reaction of acceleration of subject liquid flow in the runner while the pressure drops.

A thermodynamic turbine in which steam is made to do work by expanding so as to create kinetic energy by acting on moving blades attached to a disc or drum.

A physical object that is intended to rotate within a fluid and to transform energy within a fluid into mechanical power.

An expander of the turbine type used to reduce the pressure of a gas flow by leading it through a turbine rotor by which the recovered energy is transferred into rotational energy for either power generation or mechanical drive application.
