- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are best for turbine/expander sections in high-temperature applications?
**A**: Nickel-based superalloys are ideal for high-temperature turbine components due to their exceptional creep resistance and thermal stability, followed by titanium alloys for strength-to-weight ratio and high-strength steels for structural casings.

### Q: How does the turbine/expander section convert fluid energy to mechanical energy?
**A**: The turbine/expander section converts fluid energy through expansion across rotor blades mounted on a disk, causing rotation. Stator vanes direct fluid flow optimally, while the casing contains the process, transforming pressure/thermal energy into rotational mechanical power.

### Q: What are the key components in a turbine/expander section BOM?
**A**: The essential BOM includes rotor blades for energy extraction, rotor disk for blade mounting and torque transfer, stator vanes for flow guidance, and turbine casing for pressure containment and structural support in machinery systems.
