| | Axial Turbines | Radial Turbines | | --- | --- | --- | | Efficiency | Higher efficiency | Lower efficiency | | Flow direction | Parallel to axis of rotation | Perpendicular to axis of rotation | | Design complexity | More complex design | Simpler design | | Application | Large-scale power generation | Smaller-scale applications |

| Feature | Axial Turbine | Radial (Centripetal) Turbine | |--------|--------------|------------------------------| | | Parallel to shaft | Inward radial → axial | | Power range | > 500 kW | < 500 kW (ideal for small) | | Efficiency peak | 88–93% | 80–87% | | Number of stages | Multi-stage | Single-stage | | Manufacturing cost | Higher (blades, shrouds) | Lower (simple casting) | | Typical use | Jet engines, power plants | Turbochargers, APUs, expanders | axial and radial turbines by hany moustaphapdf high quality
