1. Reducing "lost earnings

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 TOP

1.1.1 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...
