A turbine (from the Latin turbo, a vortex, related to the Greek , tyrb, meaning "turbulence") 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. Early turbine examples are windmills and waterwheels. * Gas, steam, and water turbines have a casing around the blades that contains and controls the working fluid. Credit for invention of the steam turbine is given both to British engineer Sir Charles Parsons (18541931) for invention of the reaction turbine, and to Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval (18451913) for invention of the impulse turbine. Modern steam turbines frequently employ both reaction and impulse in the sa |
