Performance characteristics on a partially admitted small axial-type turbine are experimentally studied with changing design parameters, such as exit flow angles at the nozzle and solidities at the rotor. The tested turbine consists of a single-stage and its mean radius is 35 mm. In this experiment, three different solidities and four different nozzle flow angles are applied to find the optimal design parameter. For a comparison of the turbine performance, the net specific output powers are evaluated. For a 3.4% partial admission rate, the best performance is obtained when the rotor solidity is at 2.18, which is increased to 74% compared to the solidity at full admission.
