Thus, this term includes, for example, steam piston engines or steam turbines, <u>per se</u>, or internal-combustion piston engines, but it excludes single-stroke devices. &quot;Engine&quot; also includes the fluid-motive portion of a meter unless such portion is particularly adapted for use in a meter; </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;pump&quot; means a device for continuously raising, forcing, compressing, or exhausting fluid by mechanical or other means. <subnote><note-paragraph> Thus, this term includes fans or blowers; </note-paragraph></subnote></note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;machine&quot; means a device which could equally be an engine and a pump, and not a device which is restricted to an engine or one which is restricted to a pump;<br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;positive displacement&quot; means the way the energy of a working fluid is transformed into mechanical energy, in which variations of volume created by the working fluid in a working chamber produce equivalent displacements of the mechanical member transmitting the energy, the dynamic effect of the fluid being of minor importance, and <u>vice versa</u>; <br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;non-positive displacement&quot; means the way the energy of a working fluid is transformed into mechanical energy, by transformation of the energy of the working fluid into kinetic energy, and <u>vice versa</u>;<br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;oscillating-piston machine&quot; means a positive-displacement machine in which a fluid-engaging work-transmitting member oscillates. This definition applies also to engines and pumps;<br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;rotary-piston machine&quot; means a positive-displacement machine in which a fluid-engaging work-transmitting member rotates about a fixed axis or about an axis moving along a circular or similar orbit.

For example, a steam engine plant includes a steam engine and means for generating the steam;<br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;working fluid&quot; means the driven fluid in a pump or the driving fluid in an engine. The working fluid can be in a compressible, gaseous state, called elastic fluid, e.g. steam; in a liquid state; or in a state where there is coexistence of an elastic fluid and liquid phase. </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;steam&quot; includes condensable vapours in general, and &quot;special vapour&quot; is used when steam is excluded;<br/> </note-paragraph><note-paragraph> &quot;reaction type&quot; as applied to non-positive-displacement machines or engines means machines or engines in which pressure/velocity transformation takes place wholly or partly in the rotor.
