English term or phrase: diaphragms
Ich nehme an, dass soll "Diaphragms" heißen. Weiß jemand, wie man das in diesem Zusammenhang nennt, etwa auch Diaphragma??

Der gesamte Satz lautet: "Diaphrams for nuclear steam turbines"

Vielen Dank für jeden Hinweis.

I think is an option here

I am no expert in power generation, so I don't know the function of the "diaphra*G*m" in a turbine. However, I invite you to google "Dampfturbine" + "Membran", and have a look at the first few (of 1,400) hits. Then google "Dampfturbine" + "Diaphragm", and you will see that most of the first thirty or so hits (of 241) are partly in German ("Dampfturbine") and partly in English (diaphragm), so my conclusion is that "Membran" is more viable here. In any case, I'd love to know why the German expression "Diaphragm" is supposed to be "geläufig" in turbine engineering - perhaps Hans would tell us? If he comes up with a convincing argument, I'm always ready to admit I'm wrong.

Explanation:
Wenn ich die rotor and diaphragm construction auf das Deutsche übertrage, denke ich automatisch an Lauf- und Leitschaufeln von Dampfturbinen. Vielleicht müssen es nicht explizit Leitschaufeln sein, aber etwas mit Leit~.
Nicht ganz so häufig kommt das Paar Rotor/Stator zum Einsatz.
