The rotor element of the turbine section consists essentially of a shaft and a wheel. The turbine wheel is a dynamically balanced unit consisting of blades attached to a rotating disk. The disk, in turn, is attached to the main power-transmitting shaft of the engine. The exhaust gases leaving the turbine inlet nozzle vanes act on the blades of the turbine wheel, causing the assembly to rotate at a very high rate of speed. 3, record 1, English, - turbine%20wheel

Notons que les roues de turbine comportent un grand nombre d'aubages. […] La géométrie de ces aubes mobiles de turbine est très spécifique, elles sont composées de trois parties principales, à savoir la pale (partie centrale), le pied d'aube et le talon se situant en tête d'aube. Une des fonctions mécaniques de ces aubes de la turbine basse pression est de prélever une partie de l'énergie des gaz de la veine et la transformer en énergie mécanique afin de la transmettre au disque du rotor. 3, record 1, French, - roue%20de%20turbine

Al entrar a la etapa de la turbina, se le permite al aire expandirse y acelerarse a gran velocidad, forzándolo a pasar a través de las paletas de la turbina, lo que provoca que esta gire. La rueda de la turbina está fija a una flecha que a su vez sujeta al compresor, haciendo que este gire. 1, record 1, Spanish, - rueda%20de%20turbina

Turbine hydraulique à action et à veine libre [...] Elle est utilisée pour des chutes d'eau de grande hauteur (supérieure à 300 m) et de faible débit [...] La roue mobile est munie d'un certain nombre d'augets en forme de double cuiller avec une arrête tranchante médiane. Le système de distribution d'eau est constitué par un injecteur formé d'une buse, d'une aiguille d'injection et d'un déflecteur. Cette turbine transforme l'énergie cinétique du jet provenant de l'injection en énergie mécanique. 1, record 3, French, - roue%20Pelton

La turbina de Pelton, para saltos muy grandes (de 200 a cerca de 2000 m) funciona con agua a elevada presión, que desciende por conducciones forzadas y es proyectada por unas toberas, en chorros violentos, sobre los álabes o paletas en forma de concha de una rueda de eje horizontal. Es, por consiguiente, una turbina de acción. 2, record 3, Spanish, - turbina%20Pelton
