Abstract

Turbo-Machinery is one vast field to work in with. The conventional turbines used in practice have many problems
associated with the blades of the rotor viz, blade failure, crack in blade, vibrations etc. The aim is to eliminate these problems by
advancement in design i.e. a new bladeless turbine named as Tesla turbine. The turbine is also known as the boundary layer
turbine and Prandtl turbine operating on the principle of the boundary layer. It uses the adhesion and viscosity of the fluid for its
working thus avoiding friction. This paper gives the insight to the bladeless turbine called Tesla Turbine and the advancements till
date. It also focuses on the critical dimensions of the turbine. The CAD drawings are also provided for the rotors of the turbine.
The performance parameters study includes power output, torque transmitted and efficiency
