The thesis illustrates and also explains the fundamentals involved in the current forced induction methods in an Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) It also brings to attention the application of those fundamentals in the current technology that is currently in use to create the forced induction components for the ICE. Specifically, the forced induction method of using a turbocharger compressor and its performance metrics and parameters. Then the research paper discusses the innovative and inventive solution of using the Nikola Tesla Turbine, a bladeless unconventional turbine, in place of the current bladed turbine inside a turbocharger. The research first goes into details about the structures and the working principles of the Nikola Tesla Turbine. Then it discusses how it can be integrated into the current turbocharger compressor. Before the integration, its complexities and the challenges that come with it are considered. There is an initial discussion of what other parameters need to be taken into consideration. The initial discussion is important because to achieve a high RPM, isentropic efficiency, Torque, Torque Distribution across channels, Nozzle-Rotor (N-R) Chamber Dynamics, Mach Number and Velocity Gradients, and to achieve all of it quickly and efficiently with minimum losses, several parameters of the bladeless turbine need to be considered. These parameters include disc size, disc spacing, disc thickness, disc material, outflow holes or ports and many more. After these have been thoroughly analysed, examined and selected, there is a guide to how the integration is realized. Furthermore, there are illustrations to help visualize the final construction and the resultant workings of the final invention.
