Interest in small-scale turbines is growing mainly for small-scale power generation and energy harvesting. Conventional bladed turbines impose manufacturing limitations and higher cost, which hinder their implementation at small scale. This paper focuses on experimental and numerical performance investigation of Tesla type turbines for micro...

Interests in small-scale turbomachinery are gaining momentum, particularly around waste heat recovery using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), energy harvesting, pico-hydro, refrigeration and heat pumps and small-scale power generation. These applications demand to have economical, simple construction, and reasonably efficient machines. The...
