Abstract

Bangladesh is in great need to find renewable energy sources for its fast-developing industrial sectors. The main objectives of this research are to design and fabricate a small-scale efficient Tesla Turbine for remote areas and test it through experimental investigations. Performance analysis of the newly designed Tesla Turbine suitable for remote areas of Bangladesh will be conducted. Until now, a number of researchers have undertaken several tests and studies to evaluate the Tesla turbine’s performance and efficiency. Tesla Turbine does not proficient in producing torque. The work here consists of computational analysis and an experimental campaign by fabricating the turbine. Solid Edge 2021 is employed for our 3D modeling. For modeling, the desired material is Polylactic Acid (PLA) or ABS Plastic. The proposed design consists of 51 disks with an identical spacing of 3 mm. This design has led to achieving a torque of 19.85 N-m and a staggering efficiency of 81%. It was found that stress generated on the disk edges is higher than their centre due to high centrifugal force.
