Abstract:Curve diffuser is often used in HVAC and wind tunnel systems to provide pressure recovery and avoid excessive energy loss to the surrounding environment. Performance of curve diffuser is disturbed mainly by the presences of flow separation and secondary flow vortices occurred due to the effect of turning angle, in which scarce literature found. In this study, the effect of turning angle from 30° to 180° configured with an area ratio of 1.60 to 4.00 and inflow Reynolds number of 5.934x104 – 1.783x105 on loss ch… Show more
