The effect of volute surface roughness on the performance of automotive turbocharger turbines

The roughness level of the turbine housing’s internal surfaces can affect the total pressure loss, and hence the efficiency, of turbine stages for automotive turbochargers significantly. The actual surface roughness achieved in the housing hardware depends on the manufacturing process. Improving the...
