Diffuser Efficiency Formula Elements

Variables
Diffuser Efficiency
The diffuser efficiency is defined as the ratio of static pressure rise in an actual process to the static pressure rise in an isentropic process.
Symbol: ηd
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Actual Static Pressure Rise
Actual Static Pressure Rise denotes the change(increase) in pressure between two points in a diffuser considering losses.
Symbol: ΔP
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Isentropic Static Pressure Rise
Isentropic Static Pressure Rise denotes the change in pressure(increase) between two points in a diffuser, assuming no losses.
Symbol: ΔP'
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
