Blade erosion and corrosion can apparently be catastrophic for conventional turbines using steam at less than superheated temperatures. If a Tesla "bladeless"...

... ...So assuming you start with a saturated liquid at such-and-such temperature and pressure, added "X" BTUs to create the vapor, and extracted "Y" BTUs of ...
... No. There are a lot of steps that provide increases in entropy without doing any work. Almost any turbulance, supersonic flows producing shock waves, etc. ...
Fred, Here is an answer from one of the professors here: "The outlet enthalpy of the steam or steam/water is the inlet enthalpy minus the work produced. You...

Fred, I'm not sure on limiters-perhaps the nozzle velocity, the temperature of the working fluid, the temperature limits of the materials of construction that ...
Thanks for the inputs, guys :) 'Sorry 'bout the slowness of my response. We had a bit of baseball fever here in Houston... I'm not a fluid mechanic, but I...
... I have done some thinking on this. First, the nozzle cools the gas even as the pressure drops. Based on some simple physics, it can't liquify by droping...
sorry the steam dose not move to the center in a correctly built tt the exhaust holes should only be cut in a pump. teslas first turbines were set up in ...
... No idea what he is talking about. The TT is pretty simple. A nozzle changes the steam or gas from a high pressure gas to a high velocity flow. The gas...
... I'm trying to recall Chemistry class in HS. As Pressure goes down, doesn't Temperature go down as well? And yes, all the TT designs I've seen have only...
... As the pressure drops, the boiling point drops, so at a fair vacuum you can boil water till it freezes solid (this really looks neat and you can do it with...
I read an article about a tesla turbine powered train on the web. The train was a proposal for a commuter route. The train would stop at a fueling station...
sorry your wrong my steam powered turbine dose not have an exhaust hole in the center the steam exits out at 180 deg to the inlet at 85% of its former speed...
Hello to all. I have a question. Has anyone put a small finished tesla turbine onto a small motorcycle or moped frame? Is this a good idea to try out for a...
'Still trying to picture your geometry... Steam comes in, for example, at the nine-o'clock position, interacts with the turbine disk for 1/2 revolution and...

... You would have to reach a very low pressure (equal to the vapor pressure of ice) very quickly. 'Seems like it would almost have to be explosive ...
Well, I hope you can appreciate my confusion 'cause last Thursday you said words to the effect that the steam goes in one side, turns 180 degrees, and exits at...
