Abstract
There are two basic types of turbine suitable and used at present in turbochargers, the radial flow and the axial flow. The radial flow turbine is mainly used for small automotive or truck turbochargers; the axial type is commonly used for the large turbochargers applied to medium-speed stationary and railway traction engines and large marine engines.
