Comparison of Axial and Radial Turbines

  1. Select specific speed & diameter.
  2. Calculate rotor inlet tip speed ( U_2 = \sqrt2 \Delta h_s / \psi ) (ψ = loading coefficient ~0.9–1.0)
  3. Design nozzle exit angle (α₂ ~ 65–75°).
  4. Choose number of blades (Z ~ 11–15 for radial).
  5. Check stress at tip (σ ∝ ρ U²).

Moustapha’s work excels at comparing these two types side-by-side, offering selection criteria based on specific speed, size constraints, and operating conditions. axial and radial turbines by hany moustaphapdf high quality

In an axial turbine, the working fluid flows parallel to the shaft. "Axial and Radial Turbines" by Hany Moustapha, a

Similar to axial turbines, radial turbines consist of a stationary nozzle and a rotating wheel (impeller). The fluid enters the scroll or volute, passes through the nozzle vanes, and expands radially inward through the rotor.
