Design of a film cooled MEMS micro turbine
… dynamics and thermal transfer investigation of a micro radial inflow turbine was carried out. The 3-D numerical performance assessment revealed that the baseline 2-D designed turbine stage was not matched to the baseline compressor, resulting in off design operation. The CFD predicts that the …
