Turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of a fluid (liquid or gas) into mechanical energy, which can be used to generate power or perform work. The two main types of turbines are axial and radial turbines, classified based on the direction of fluid flow relative to the turbine axis. Axial turbines have a parallel flow direction, while radial turbines have a radial flow direction. Turbines are a crucial component in various industrial
