Addition: It was found that in the Aspen simulation, both are used to change pressure; I don’t know why only one isn’t used. Is it that the pump is used to increase pressure while the turbine is used to decrease it?
A pump is used to change the pressure of a fluid in order to transport it, while a turbine is used for energy conversion, such as the steam turbines and hydroturbines used in power plants
The former is a pump, which is generally a machine for transporting liquids; the so-called water pump is essentially a pump. The latter is a turbine; generally, high-pressure fluid passes through the turbine to be converted into electrical energy, or it is used to drive other machinery
There’s no need to say much about pumps. A turbine is a machine that converts the energy contained in a fluid into mechanical work. Not only compressors, but also steam turbines, turbines, gas turbines, and expander machines can be referred to as turbines.
