Screw Turbine Working and benefits

Image
 Screw Turbine The screw turbine is a water turbine which uses the principle of the Archimedean screw to convert the potential energy of water on an upstream level into work. Water flows into the turbine and its weight presses down onto the blades of the turbine, which in turn forces the turbine to turn.  Working of Screw Turbine The turbine consists of a rotor in the shape of an Archimedean screw which rotates in a semicircular trough. Water flows into the turbine and its weight presses down onto the blades of the turbine, which in turn forces the turbine to turn. Water flows freely off the end of the turbine into the river. The upper end of the screw is connected to a generator through a gearbox. The Archimedean screw turbine is applied on rivers with a relatively low head (from 0.1 m to 10 m) and on low flows (0.01 m³/s up to around 10 m³/s on one turbine). Due to the construction and slow movement of the blades of the turbine, the turbine is considered to be friendly to aquatic wil

Tesla Turbine Design, Working and applications

  Tesla Turbine Tesla turbine is consists of a bladeless turbine that has an input through an air pipe nozzle. The body of the turbine has two outlets, one is for the incoming of the air and the other for the outgoing of the air. Apart from that, the rotating disc consists of 3 to 4 layers, which are joined together. There is a thin air gap between the layers where the air is passed at a very high speed. The rotating disc has two faces, outface and rear face. In both aspects, there is no scope for the air to flow outside the turbine body. The air can only enter through the inlet pipe and release through the outlet pipe. The turbine body consists of multiple disk rotor which is joined together. All the rotor discs are joined together on a common shaft where the disc can rotate. There is outer housing for the disks to be placed. The discs are usually connected through bolts. The front-end and rear-end have exhaust output ports through which the air can exit the turbine body. The placemen
