A turbine in which the air moves in the direction of the axis of rotation of the turbine. All utility scale wind turbines in Australia are axial flow.
(from the article `turbine`) Fixed propeller-type turbines are generally used for large units at low heads, resulting in large diameters and slow rotational speeds. As the name ...
A turbine in which the flow of a steam or gas is essentially parallel to the rotor axis. Related category • TURBINES
A turbine in which the flow of a steam or gas is essentially parallel to the rotor axis.
axial-flow turbine A common type of turbine with axial flow through the runner blades axially to the turbine shaft.
A turbine in which the flow of a steam or gas is essentially parallel to the rotor axis.
A turbine that typically has two or three blades mounted on a horizontal shaft to form a rotor; the kinetic motion of the water current creates lift on the blades causing the rotor to turn driving a mechanical generator. These turbines must be oriented in the direction of flow. There are shrouded and open rotor models.
