单词 turbine
释义

turbinen.

Brit. /ˈtəːbʌɪn/, /ˈtəːbᵻn/, U.S. /ˈtərˌbaɪn/, /ˈtərbən/
Etymology: < French turbine, < Latin turbo , turbin-em : see turbo n.
a. Originally applied to a wheel revolving on a vertical axis, and driven by a column of water falling into its interior, and escaping by pipes, channels, or apertures, so arranged as to press by reaction on the periphery of the wheel, and cause it to revolve in the direction opposite to that of the escaping water. Now applied to any kind of machine in which this principle (sometimes combined with that of direct impact) is used or developed; the modifications and developments are very numerous, many of these being of highly complicated structure, in which neither the horizontality of the wheel nor the motive power is retained.
