/ˈɪmpʌls ˈtɜːbaɪn/C1formaltechnical
  • ruТип турбины, в которой жидкость (например, пар, вода или газ) ударяет по лопаткам в виде высокоскоростных струй, вызывая вращение за счёт импульсной силы, а не изменения давления. Обычно используется в колёсах Пелтона и некоторых паровых турбинах.

A type of turbine in which the fluid (such as steam, water, or gas) strikes the blades in high-speed jets, causing rotation through impulse force rather than pressure change. Commonly used in Pelton wheels and certain steam turbines.

  1. Type of turbineC1formal

    A turbine in which the fluid (usually steam or gas) is directed through nozzles onto the blades, causing rotation due to the change in momentum of the fluid.

    • The Pelton wheel is a classic example of an impulse turbine.
    • Impulse turbines are often used in high-head hydroelectric power plants.
    • The design of an impulse turbine relies on the principle of Newton's second law.
