A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor.
Types of turbine:
- Steam turbine
- Gas turbine
- Water turbine
- Wind turbine
- Transonic turbine
- Ceramic turbine
