Turbomachinery Diffuser Design Technology

This volume is the most comprehensive review of diffuser technology ever published. Over 1,500 original research papers have been examined, and their results have been summarized and collated into a single reference volume with a critical commentary by the authors. This provides an overview which will help to focus attention on the essential characteristics of diffusers and their applications, and a broad perspective by which new researchers and engineers can obtain an effective orientation to the basic characteristics of diffuser fluid dynamic problems. Originally published for a limited readership in 1984, this has now been completely revised and updated with the latest findings and understanding of the subject.
