Which component rotates?

Explanation:
Rotating parts in turbomachinery are the ones mounted on a shaft and driven by the powertrain. The rotor is the rotating element, with blades attached to the shaft, that turns and transfers energy to the flow. The stator stays fixed and provides guiding blades to direct the flow without rotating. The inlet and diffuser are stationary sections of the ducting that admit and condition the air, they do not rotate. So the component that rotates is the rotor.
