Difference between Compressor and Turbine

Compressor vs. Turbine

A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. A turbine (from the Latin turbo, a vortex, related to the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, meaning "turbulence") is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.

Similarities between Compressor and Turbine

Compressor and Turbine have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Airfoil, Electric motor, Fluid, Gas turbine, Horsepower, Jet engine, Steam turbine, Supercharger, Turbocharger, Turbofan, Turbojet, Water turbine.

Airfoil

An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is the shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine), or sail (as seen in cross-section).

Turbocharger

A turbocharger, or colloquially turbo, is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber.
