Mollier diagram showing performance of a steam turbine. 

From an internal design perspective, the steam turbine is either an impulse-or a reaction-type design. In the United States, almost all turbine designs are of the axial flow variety, and only a small number are of the tangential flow variety. In Europe, a significant number of turbines are of the radial flow
