Radial Inflow turbines
These turbines provide greateramount of work per stage, ease ofmanufacture, andRuggedness. Efficiency is equal to thebest of those of axial turbines.
Main disadvantage is requirement ofadvanced techniques for rotor coolingand shockresistance
Commonly used in automobileturbochargers and helicopters, andexpanders fro cryogenicprocesses and liquefaction of gases.

There is zero incidence flow due to thedirection of the relative velocity whichmakes this an inward flow turbine.
Working principle is the reverse of acentrifugal compressor with differentimpeller shapes.
