: Dominant in large-scale power generation and propulsion, such as commercial jet engines and major power plants.
While axial turbines dominate large engines (like jet aircraft and power plants), radial turbines are the workhorses of smaller applications (turchargers, APU units). Understanding why requires a look at the velocity triangles and thermodynamic expansion characteristics defined in Moustapha’s work. axial and radial turbines by hany moustaphapdf high quality
