Turbines are mechanical devices that extract energy from a fluid flow and convert it into useful work. This work is typically used to drive a compressor, an electric generator, or a propeller. Based on the direction of fluid flow relative to the axis of rotation, turbines are broadly classified into two main types: axial and radial.
They offer superior efficiency at large scales. Design Concepts An axial turbine stage consists of two main components:
Ideal for applications with smaller fluid volumes.
A rotating row of blades that extracts energy from the fluid, causing the shaft to spin.
