Extract

In a recent Technical Note, Bradshaw offered additional thought on an earlier note by Markland and myself. In doing so he wrote of the efficiency of a diffuser which was confused with the pressure recovery coefficient, Cp. In view of the great significance when designing engine intakes, combustion chambers, nuclear reactor plant and even heating and ventilating systems of even minute improvements in duct efficiency, the distinction is further discussed.
