Opis

This book presents a comprehensive study on the design, development, and experimental analysis of the Tesla turbine, a bladeless turbomachine that operates based on boundary layer and viscous effects. It focuses on understanding the performance characteristics of the Tesla turbine and its integration with a Tesla pump under varying inlet pressure conditions.Through systematic experimentation, the book analyzes the relationship between inlet pressure and rotational speed in both unloaded and loaded conditions. It discusses design modifications, implementation challenges, performance observations, advantages, limitations, and potential applications of the Tesla turbine in green and sustainable technologies such as geothermal power generation, fluid pumping, jet propulsion, and biomedical systems. Overall, the book aims to highlight the practical potential of the Tesla turbine as a simple, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to conventional turbomachinery.
