An axial flow turbine uses stators and rotors to extract kinetic energy from swirling gas flows. The stator adds swirl to incoming gas, converting internal energy to kinetic energy. The rotor then extracts work by removing the swirl velocity and its associated kinetic energy from the gas flow. Thermodynamics show that the stator maintains stagnation properties while the rotor extracts work through a change in angular momentum and kinetic energy of the swirling gas.
