These two sections are preceded by an introduction which locates the general framework of the investigation, and the volume concludes with a final section containing three studies taking an 'intergeneric' or 'transgeneric'...

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. In this book, suitable numerical approaches for the fluid-dynamic analysis are described, with practical examples related to physical prototypes designed, built and operated by the Authors.

Interest in small scale turbines is growing mainly for energy efficiency and power recovery in a variety...

In the era of war on terror, the term terror has tended to be applied to its sudden eruptions in the metropolises of the global north.
