INTRODUCTION This Data Item presents information on static-pressure recovery@ total-pressure loss and overall flow pattern for flow through straight-axis conical diffusers. The effects of various geometrical and flow parameters on the diffuser performance are discussed. The geometry of a typical diffuser and its associated ductwork is shown in Sketch 2.1. For the case of a diffuser with free discharge the diffuser exit plane 2 forms the end of the system.
