The prescribed boundary con

Branch flow was included in the flow fielciand this allowed the suction slot geometry to be a part of the design.Four diffuser geometries were designed, fabricated and tested:(1) a 7-inch (18 cm) exit diameter bell shaped diffuser with an arearatio of 3:1

Corresponding suction rates for the9-inch (23 cm) annular diffuser (3:1 area ratio) were 8.5% and 16.0% formetastable and stable operation respectively. For the 9-inch (23 cm) annulardiffuser with 2.5:1 area ra

Forthe 18-inch (46 cm) annular diffuser, only 7% suction was required for meta-stable operation and 10% for stable operation.Suction rate requirements were found to increase as inlet velocity wasdecreased. Thus for stable operation of the 18-inch (46 cm
22、) diffuser therequired suction rate was about 20% at 100 ft/sec (30 m/sec) inlet velocity.In all cases the diffuser effectiveness was above 95% based on theconventional definition, and from 81% to 94% when the suction loss wasaccounted for.

31、ser is a transitional sectionwhich connects a flow passage having a smaller cross-sectional area toa flow passage of larger area. Two desirable characteristics of adiffuser are that it will provide a nearly uniform velocity distributionat its exit plane and that it will transform most of the kinetic
32、 energyof the fluid at entrance into potential energy in the form of a higherstatic pressure at the exit plane.A previous report by the authors 1 concerned the feasibility ofdesigning short two-dimensional diffusers utilizing suction through thediffuser wall slots. The design philosophy was to presc
33、ribe the diffuserwall velocity so as to have essentially constant high velocity upstreamof a slot, constant low velocity downstream of the slot, and thus haveall the deceleration occur across the slot. By removing through the slotthose fluid particles having Insufficient kinetic energy to get across
34、the adverse pressure gradient in the region of the slot, flow separationcould be avoided. The concept of having deceleration occur abruptly andapplying slot suction to this narrow region was originally suggested byA. A. Griffith as reported by Lachmann 2 and is henceforth referred to asthe Griffith

36、from IHS-,-,-separation, the diffuser exit plane velocity distribution was nearly uniformand very low total pressure losses were achieved. However, the suction ratesrequired for stable operation varied from 16% for 2:1 area ratio tokk% for A:l area ratio. Problems were encountered in designing the o
37、ptimumslot geometry and also in controlling the sidewall boundary layer.In 1952, L. R. Manoni 3 designed several bell channel diffusersbased upon the Griffith concept. He used an electrical analogy tank todetermine the wall geometry required for the specified wall velocity dis-tribution. While his d
38、esign method was only approximate and somewhatcumbersome, he was able to demonstrate that such a concept would enable thedesign and operation of a relatively short diffuser without separationprovided that sufficient slot suction could be applied.In order to design planar flow channel geometries, J.
39、D. Stanitz kin 1953 performed a double transformation of the describing equations intoa coordinate system where the geometry did not need to be known for theequations to be solved. After the equations were solved on the transformedplane, the inverse transformation yielded the desired geometry.In 197
40、1, C. D. Nelson 5 extended the work of Stanitz by developing amethod for transforming the flow equations of an axially symmetricalcoordinate system. Nelson also devised an approximation to account for thebranch flow due to the slot by solving the channel design problem with amore complicated set of
