Fluid dynamics assessment of the Tesla turbine rotor
Thermal Science, 2019 The Tesla turbine seems to offer several points of attractiveness when applied to low-power applications. Indeed, it is a simple, reliable, and low cost machine. The principle of operation of the turbine relies on the exchange of momentum due to the shear forces originated by the flow of the fluid through a tight gap among closely stacked disks.

A Laminar Flow-Based Microfluidic Tesla Pump via Lithography Enabled 3D Printing
Sensors, 2016 Tesla turbine and its applications in power generation and fluid flow were demonstrated by Nicholas Tesla in 1913. However, its real-world implementations were limited by the difficulty to maintain laminar flow between rotor disks, transient efficiencies

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Business schools are often criticized for reproducing growth‐oriented norms, but alternative pedagogies remain difficult to normalize. Drawing on Butler's theory of subversive performativity, this study examines how art‐based pedagogy enables academics to challenge growth logics in business schools by transforming their identities over time ...

Analysis on Inlet Nozzle Design Geometry of Tesla Turbine
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021 Abstract Tesla turbine is a bladeless turbine that uses a set of discs arranged at a certain distance to rotate and one of the parameters controlling turbine performance is the inlet parameter. The purpose of this study is to optimize the design of the inlet nozzle and analyse its effects on the flow of the fluid.
