Turbine

A rotating mechanical device called a turbine transforms fluid flow energy into productive work. When paired with a generator, the work performed can be used to generate electricity.In [3] The rotor assembly, which consists of a shaft or drum with blades attached, is the only moving component of a turbine, which is a turbomachine. The motion of the blades and the rotor's subsequent rotation are caused by moving fluid. Waterwheels and windmills are two examples of early turbines.

The working fluid of gas, steam, and water turbines is contained and managed by a casing that surrounds the blades. The Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval (1845–1913) is credited with creating the impulse turbine, while Anglo-Irish engineer Sir Charles Parsons (1854–1931) is credited with creating the reaction turbine, which is the basis for the steam turbine. Reaction and impulse are often used in the same unit in modern steam turbines, with the degree of reaction and impulse being varied from the blade root to its perimeter. Around 70 BC, Vitruvius referenced them, and in the first century AD, Hero of Alexandria used an aeolipile to show the turbine idea.
