Description
Summary:Boundary layer turbine, although invented long before but has failed to commercialize and beat the bladed turbines due to certain lacks. In this paper we have proposed and suggested some techniques to improve the design of the boundary layer turbine such that to take the optimum advantage of its efficiency, compensating all of its draw backs. A test model of proposed boundary layer turbine has been physically made and tested under different conditions. The experiments using different flow rates, different discharge rates and changing many other factors has been made and the results of these experiments are included in this paper which verifies the improvements in the output power obtained from boundary layer turbine system. This modified turbine can thus become an efficient way of producing green energy like any other renewable energy resource.
