A radial turbine is a turbine in which the flow of the working fluid is radial to the shaft. The difference between axial and radial turbines consists...

The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It functions as nozzles apply a moving fluid to the edges...

is flowing from inward to outward then it is called outflow radial turbine. In this turbine, the working fluid enters around the axis of the wheel and...

patent in 1894. The design is essentially a multi-stage radial turbine (or pair of 'nested' turbine rotors) offering great efficiency, four times as large...

of both small turbines and large turbines. Large diesel engines often use a single-stage axial inflow turbine instead of a radial turbine.[citation needed]...

counterpart the radial turbine as shown in the figure. While a compressor transfers energy into a flow to raise its pressure, a turbine operates in reverse...

Francis turbine is a type of water turbine. It is an inward-flow reaction turbine that combines radial and axial flow concepts. Francis turbines are the...

flow and force components of both radial and axial types. A Francis turbine is an example of a mixed-flow turbine. Turbomachines can finally be classified...

The Tyson turbine is a conical water turbine with helical blades emerging partway down from the apex gradually increasing in radial dimension and decreasing...

turbomachinery, an axial turbine is a turbine in which the flow of the working fluid is parallel to the shaft, as opposed to radial turbines, where the fluid...

They not only named the turbine type, but also an early form of a bicycle. The steam flows through the machine in a radial direction from the centre...

The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbine consists of a number...

A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. Each turbine...

A gas turbine or gas turbine engine is a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine. The main parts common to all gas turbine engines form the...

The Rushton turbine or Rushton disc turbine is a radial flow impeller used for many mixing applications (commonly for gas dispersion applications) in...

Deriaz turbine does not follow a full axial nor radial direction but is a diagonal mixture of the two. Deriaz turbines, like Kaplan turbines, can also...

modern water turbine. It is still the most widely used water turbine in the world today. The Francis turbine is also called a radial flow turbine, since water...

A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located...
