| This dissertation has on the research and design of a Micro Turbine Engine as background and it is for the purpose of comprehending viscous flow behaviors in micro scaled conditions and that in the mini-turbine cascades. A mini wind tunnel is designed and set up which also can be used in other micro flow experiments. On the basis of this mini wind tunnel, three mini flow experiments, including micro jet experiment, micro boundary layer experiment and mini-turbine cascades experiment, have been carried out.The micro jet experiment is under conditions of 3 different heights, 2mm, 3mm and 5mm of 2D (2 dimensional) rectangle jet outlet and the width of each is same, 20mm. 5 Reynolds numbers vary from 20,000 to 55,000.The experiment characters tell that compared with that of the normal scaled jet flow, the dilution power of this micro jet becomes weaker. Furthermore, the flow in the far down stream are also researched. The diluting power of the flow within this area is between that of 2D micro jets and normal scale 3D jets.The micro boundary layer experiment is carried out from 8mm to 14mm of a 15mm-long micro plane. Re numbers vary from 35,000 to 150,000 and 4 different Mach numbers are selected. Some new characters are discovered, such as velocity curve factor is smaller than that of well developed normal scale turbulence Boundary Layer.VKI-1 cascade with 5.64mm chord is adopted in mini-turbine cascades experiment. 4 assembly angles, 3 different blade tip clearances and 4 Mach number statuses are chosed as status variables. From 12 total pressure distribution maps, a conclusion is formed that ratio of high-loss area to full width of cascades period is large that that of normal scaled cascedes. Based on effiociency analysis,it has been found that narrower blade tip clearance and right assembly angle lead to utmost efficience. (e.g. 45~50 degree for this micro VKI-1 cascades)...
