Use of a Tesla turbine for energy recovery in the mining industry and energy generation from biomass

The objective of the proposed project is to develop economical and sustainable technologies which contribute to the energy needs of the mining industry. The Tesla turbine is simple in construction, compact and tolerant to the working fluid composition. These advantages make it a potential ideal solution for use in energy recovery from industrial sites or extraction from alternative sources such as biomass and plants grown around the mines.
