1.1 Recuperation of kinetic energy output: diffusers
When designing an isolated or final stage, we aim to minimize this kinetic output energy under normal operating conditions. Some of this energy can then be recovered by installing a diffuser after the stage.
SCROLL TO TOP1.1.1 The diffuser's role and recoverable energy
-
A diffuser is a duct designed so that the fluid slows down and undergoes subsonic recompression.
The pressure just downstream of the stage...
