Extract

In the establishment of a fluid circuit's behaviour, it has been shown that the condition of the entry flow into each component of the circuit is of significance. This note indicatesthe problems encountered by a designer using diffusers at the present state of knowledge, and outlines a hopeful method of reducing diffuser pressure losses.
