Description:
The results of analytical and experimental studies of the trajectories that atmospheric dust particles follow as they move through a radial inflow turbine are presented. The study reveals the nature of the impacts that occur within the turbine and indicates which surfaces are expected to experience the most severe erosion. In addition, a dimensionless parameter is derived which can be used during preliminary design analysis to indicate the sizes of the particles that will be most damaging to the turbine.
