What:
"A turbine is like a compressor in that it consists of several rows of rotors and stators. The turbine stage begins with a stationary blade row called the nozzle guide vane, followed by a rotating blade row. The turbine converts thermal energy to kinetic energy by expanding through nozzles, then into rotational mechanical energy in a spinning rotor."
