Turbine Technology
 

Credit: 1 hour

The word “turbine” was coined in 1822 by the French mining engineer Calude Burdin from the Latin turbo, or vortex. A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. The work produced by a turbine can be used for generating electrical power when combined with a generator.
A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor
