The most common working fluids are steam, used in steam turbines and steam engines; the combustion products of organic fuels, used in internal combustion engines and gas turbines; water and other liquids, used in hydraulic engines; air, used in pneumatic engines; and refrigerants, used in refrigerating machines. A rocket propellant is also called a working fluid.
