Dynamics This thesis presents the evaluation of non-radial fiber turbine. The turbine adapted to an electrical turbo comporting (ETC) for recovering waste energy in the internal combustion engine. The ETC was designed to produce 1KW of power, rotate at 50000 rpm and expand the pressure ratio of 1.1. The pressure ratio for the off-design operations was limited between 1.05 and 1.25.

Limitation of the current design caused the operation of the LPT to produce chocked flow at certain mass flow rate and the efficiency significant dropped when the turbine was operated at pressure ratio 1.25.

According to the validation data that have been done using CFD baseline with the experimental it is shown that the efficiency data for the velocity ratio under 0.7 with Relative standard deviation of 0.37. The turbine performances for the backswept design has showed an increment of 2% for the total-to-static efficiency and higher swallow capacity at the PR=1.25.
