商品描述

This book aims at providing the reader with up-to-date knowledge about Tesla turbine features, mechanical design, and performance characteristics. A Tesla machine, in general, is characterised by the absence of rotating blades, therefore it is also called bladeless or boundary layer machine. In this book, suitable numerical approaches for the fluid-dynamic analysis are described, with practical examples related to physical prototypes designed, built and operated by the Authors.

Interest in small scale turbines is growing mainly for energy efficiency and power recovery in a variety of applications. Considering small scales, conventional bladed turbines impose manufacturing limitations, lower performance and higher cost, which hinder their implementation. Tesla bladeless turbomachines are being re-discovered due to many advantages such as their simple design and ease of manufacturing with acceptable performance, especially for small-scale power generation and energy harvesting.

To contribute to the spread of efficient and viable Tesla turbines (or expanders), this book presents holistic design guidelines to Tesla turbines, encompassing geometrical definition of Tesla rotor, of Tesla stator, of Tesla rotor-stator-casing assembly, providing practical correlations to take into account various loss mechanisms, and discussing the optimal design point definition for such type of century-aged but always young turbines.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在為讀者提供有關特斯拉渦輪機特徵、機械設計和性能特性的最新知識。一般而言,特斯拉機器的特點是缺乏旋轉葉片,因此也被稱為無葉片或邊界層機器。本書描述了適合流體動力學分析的數值方法,並提供了與作者設計、建造和操作的物理原型相關的實際範例。

對於小型渦輪機的興趣正在增長,主要是因為在各種應用中提高能源效率和能量回收。考慮到小型化,傳統的葉片渦輪機在製造上存在限制,性能較低且成本較高,這妨礙了它們的實施。特斯拉無葉片渦輪機因其簡單的設計和易於製造的優勢而重新受到重視,特別是在小型發電和能量收集方面,性能也相對可接受。

為了促進高效且可行的特斯拉渦輪機(或膨脹機)的普及,本書提供了針對特斯拉渦輪機的整體設計指導,包括特斯拉轉子、特斯拉定子、特斯拉轉子-定子-外殼組件的幾何定義,提供實用的相關性以考慮各種損失機制,並討論此類百年歷史但始終年輕的渦輪機的最佳設計點定義。
