• (n.) A form of steam engine analogous in construction and action to the water turbine. There are practically only two distinct kinds, and they are typified in the de Laval and the Parsons and Curtis turbines. The de Laval turbine is an impulse turbine, in which steam impinges upon revolving blades from a flared nozzle. The flare of the nozzl...

Originally a turbine was a high-speed water-wheel consisting of a horizontal wheel usually constructed with a series of curved floats upon the periphery and driven by a column of water falling into its interior and escaping through oblique channels so as to impel the wheel in the opposite direction. Now, the term turbine is applied to any rotary ma...
