A numerical and experimental investigation of the Tesla turbine is presented in the paper. The experiment is conducted for various inlet pressure and load. The roughness of the rotor disc is determined as it is a key factor to obtain high turbine efficiency and power. The numerical investigations are performed for the same conditions as in the experiment. The computational results are compared with the analytical model. Comparison of performance characteristics show a relatively good agreement between the experiment and CFD. The analytical model overestimates distributions of pressure and circumferential velocities, although the predicted power is on the similar level as in the experiment and CFD.

The paper presents an analysis of the influence of Tesla turbine outlet system geometry on parameter distribution and power. Simulations were carried out with the aid of Ansys products: DesignModeler, Meshing and CFX 17.0. The model geometry was based on the dimensions of existing turbine. Three different types of outlet system were investigated. A mesh independence study was carried out in order to obtain results which were unaffected by discretization method. Computations were performed using experimental data. The flow phenomena occurring inside the turbine are described in addition to the differences caused by outlet system geometry. Numerical results were confronted with experimental analysis.

This article presents the strength and modal analysis of the rotor model of the Tesla micro-turbine. The calculations were made in order to verify the design of multi-disc turbine’s rotor before production process. Two commercial solvers were used independently, which are capable to deal with problems of solid state physics – Abaqus and Ansys Mechanical with Workbench software. The comparison of results from two applications aimed at checking solvers’ applicability in the present case. Preliminary analysis was carried out in Abaqus software. The calculations were performed assuming perfect bearing stiffness for different rotation speeds. A more detailed analysis was made in Ansys Mechanical software using structure analysis modules to determine the stresses in the structure which arise as a consequence of rotor’s rotational motion. Subsequently, it was followed up with modal analysis results. Additionally the parameters of selected bearings were determined and modal analysis took into account the stiffness corresponding to individual rolling bearings.

W niniejszej artykule przedstawiono wyniki analizy wytrzymałościowej i dynamicznej prototypu modelu wirnika mikroturbiny Tesli. Analizy zostały przeprowadzone w celu sprawdzenia i weryfikacji projektu wielodyskowego wirnika turbiny Tesli przed etapem produkcyjnym. Obliczenia zostały przeprowadzone niezależnie przy pomocy dwóch komercyjnych solwerów do analizy mechaniki ciała stałego - Abaqus oraz Ansys Mechanical w środowisku Workbench. Porównanie wyników z dwóch aplikacji ma na celu wzajemną weryfikację stosowalności solwerów do omawianego przypadku. Wstępna analiza została wykonana w programie Abaqus. Obliczenia zostały wykonane przy założeniu całkowitej sztywności łożysk i zadanej prędkości obrotowej. Dokładna analiza została wykonana w programie Ansys Mechanical w środowisku Workbench przy wykorzystaniu modułów do analizy strukturalnej w celu wyznaczenia wstępnego stanu naprężeń będącego konsekwencją ruchu obrotowego wirnika oraz modułu analizy modalnej. Dodatkowo wyznaczono parametry wstępnie dobranych łożysk i wykonano analizę modalną uwzględniającą sztywności właściwe dla zastosowanych typów poszczególnych łożysk tocznych.

This paper presents a system of equations for an axisymmetric laminar flow, after averaging, through the width of the interdisk slit of a Tesla turbine. Coefficients improving the efficiency of a 1D model were introduced as a result of averaging. The minimal number of such coefficients was determined. The 1D model makes it possible to attain analytical solutions to an accuracy limited by these coefficients. The calibration of a 1D model depends on finding the numerical values of coefficients that yield a sufficient accuracy compared with 3D calculations. A definition of the efficiency coefficient for the Tesla turbine is also given. This definition relies on the 1D model results. Example values of this coefficient are described after the 1D model calibration.

This paper presents results of the design analysis of a Tesla bladeless turbine intended for a co-generating micro-power plant of heat capacity 20 kW, which operates in an organic Rankine cycle on a low-boiling medium. Numerical calculations of flow in several Tesla turbine models were performed for a range of design parameters. Results of investigations exhibit interesting features in the distribution of flow parameters within the turbine interdisk space. The calculated flow efficiency of the investigated Tesla turbine models show that the best obtained solutions can be competitive as compared with classical small bladed turbines.
