Axial and radial turbines have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Axial turbines are generally more efficient and suitable for high-flowrate applications, while radial turbines are more compact and suitable for low-flowrate applications. The choice between axial and radial turbines depends on the specific application requirements, including flow rate, pressure ratio, and power output.

Performance and Design Considerations for Axial and Radial Turbines in Modern Turbomachinery Axial And Radial Turbines By Hany Moustapha.pdf
Radial turbines, on the other hand, are characterized by their radial flow direction, where the fluid flows perpendicular to the turbine's rotational axis. In a radial turbine, the fluid flows through a series of blades, which are attached to a central shaft. As the fluid flows over the blades, it transfers its energy to the blades, causing the turbine to rotate. Radial turbines are commonly used in applications such as centrifugal compressors, pumps, and turbines in small-scale power generation systems. Axial and Radial Turbines: An Overview
"Axial and Radial Turbines" by Hany Moustapha et al., published by Concepts NREC, is a foundational text bridging fundamental thermodynamics with modern computer-aided design for turbomachinery. The book provides a detailed analysis of both axial and radial turbine technologies, covering aerodynamics, blade cooling, and performance prediction for industrial and aerospace applications.
