1-Radial gas turbines are appropriate for medium and high flow rate applications.
2-This machine usually uses multiple stages and therefore occupies a large volume.
3-They are most commonly used within turbochargers on diesel engines and within gas turbine engines for fire pumps.
4-Inlet vanes allow for control of the absolute gas inlet angle as the load changes.
5-The absolute gas angle at inlet to the rotor is approximately 70o (measured from the radial direction).
