Abstract
Rotating machinery that involves liquid has been in use for many centuries. The history of various forms of pumps goes back to the early days of human civilization, just as that of hydraulic turbines or marine propellers. Hydraulic turbines, for example, have used water for hydroelectric power generation. Another example is the Francis turbine developed in the nineteenth century—still one of the most popular water turbines in use.
