Abstract
Disclosed is a turbine apparatus. The turbine apparatus includes s stator, a rotor rotatably installed in the stator, and a sealing mechanism provided to prevent a working fluid from leaking between the stator and the rotor. The sealing mechanism is configured such that when the rotor is stopped, the sealing mechanism is brought into contact with the rotor, and when the rotor is rotated, the sealing mechanism is formed to be spaced from the rotor by a predetermined gap.
