Normal shock diffuser is less efficient than the oblique shock diffuser.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an online quiz.Enquiry is from Supersonic Wind Tunnels in division Compressible Flow through Nozzles, Diffusers and Wind Tunnels of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (a) True

Best explanation: The goal of the diffuser is to reduce the FLOW velocity with small total pressure loss. If we reduce the incoming SUPERSONIC flow through a series of oblique shock followed by a WEAK normal shock wave, leads to lower total pressure loss compared to REDUCING the incoming supersonic flow to subsonic using one strong normal shock.
