241A nozzle expands air from p, = 8.0 bar, T, = 540 K to a pressure
of 5.8 bar with an efficiency of 95%. The air is then passed
through a diffuser of area ratio 4.0. The total pressure loss across
the diffuser is 367 mm He.
Determine the efficiency of the diffuser and the velocities of air at
its entry and exit. What is the static pressure at the diffuser exit?
Solution:
Nozzle
The velocity at the entry is assumed 10 be negligible.

In this case, because of the higher pressure rise in the compressor,
its efficiency is appreciably lower than the infinitesimal stage
efficiency. This is on account of preheating,
