This book aims at providing the reader with up-to-date knowledge about Tesla turbine features, mechanical design, and performance characteristics. A Tesla machine, in general, is characterised by the absence of rotating blades, therefore it is also called bladeless or boundary layer machine.

An upgraded Tesla turbine concept for ORC applications
Energy, 2018Abstract The Tesla turbine is an original expander working on the principle of torque transmission by wall shear stress. The principle – demonstrated for air expanders at lab scale - has attractive features when applied to ORC expanders: it is suitable for handling limited flow rates (as is the case for machines in the range from 500 W to 5 kW), it ...

Tesla turbine for energy conversion: An automotive application
2012 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering (CHUSER), 2012This project is to design and fabricate the Tesla turbine with gas as working fluid and looking at the potential of installation a Tesla turbine onto the car in order to utilize those energy which originally generated from vehicle's engine and loss to environment due to drag force, and convert partial back to electrical energy and store within battery ...

The fluid dynamics of the rotating flow in a Tesla disc turbine
European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 2013Abstract The flow induced by rotating discs has attracted some of the greatest minds in fluid dynamics like von Karman and Batchelor, and still is a vigorously active research area. In comparison, the available analysis of the rotating flow in the narrow gaps among closely-spaced co-axial multiple discs of a Tesla turbine, which produces power, is ...

Numerical Simulation of a Compressed Air Driven Tesla Turbine
Volume 2: Simple and Combined Cycles; Advanced Energy Systems and Renewables (Wind, Solar and Geothermal); Energy Water Nexus; Thermal Hydraulics and CFD; Nuclear Plant Design, Licensing and Construction; Performance Testing and Performance Test Codes; Student Paper Competition, 2014This paper presents the Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis of a Tesla bladeless turbine using compressed air as the working fluid. Multiple flow configurations are analyzed using both Laminar and the turbulent behaviors. The loading coefficient and the efficiency of turbines is evaluated for both the 2D and 3D cases.

Tesla Turbine Torque Modeling for Construction of a Dynamometer and Turbine
While conventional turbines have been extensively researched and tested, Tesla and boundary layer type turbines have not. In order to construct a dynamometer, thermodynamic flow apparatus and future turbines, we modeled the Tesla turbine using theoretical calculations and preliminary experiments. Thus a series of experiments were run to determine stallopenaire +1 more source
