[0002] A steam turbine is a rotary power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work. It is mainly used as a prime mover for power generation, and can also directly drive various pumps, fans, compressors, and ship propellers. Currently, most steam turbines use burning fuel as a power source.
