Theoretical and Experimental Research Performed on the Tesla Turbine – Part II
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents research made to highlight the dynamical behavior of a Tesla turbine actuated with compressed air. Since the noise and vibration level of industrial equipment is an important concern of nowadays industry, we focused on established the relation existing between the angular speed and the vibration amplitude. The turbine, designed and manufactured specially for this experiment, is simple and consists of a casing and 16 circular disks mounted on the shaft. Due to the inexistence of unbalanced components, a low vibration level is presumed; experiments confirmed this hypothesis.
