Improvement of a Theoretical Analysis Method for Tesla Turbines
Volume 6C: Turbomachinery, 2013A Tesla turbine makes use of a fluid’s viscous force to cause rotation of a set of closed spaced disks. In this paper, the theoretical analysis method proposed by Carey et al in 2010 was improved, and the design method has taken the pressure drop occurring in the rotor into consideration in order to approach its physics condition of flow.
