noun
reaction turbine
A type of turbine that uses both pressure and kinetic energy of the fluid; common in engineering contexts.
反動タービンは、流体の圧力と速度の両方を利用して回転力を得る。
A reaction turbine obtains rotational force by using both the pressure and velocity of the fluid.
衝動タービン (impulse turbine) uses only the kinetic energy of the fluid, while 反動タービン uses both pressure and kinetic energy.
Compound of 反動 (reaction) and タービン (turbine), a direct translation of the English term 'reaction turbine'.
