Une turbine [hydraulique] est à axe vertical ou horizontal, à passage axial ou radial. On distingue également les turbines à actions, dans lesquelles les pressions à l'entrée et à la sortie de la roue mobile sont les mêmes (turbine Pelton), et les turbines à réaction, dans lesquelles la pression à l'entrée est plus grande que la pression à la sortie de la roue (turbine Francis). 2, record 3, French, - turbine%20%C3%A0%20action
