Normal shock diffuser is more efficient than the oblique shock diffuser.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an internship interview.My doubt stems from Compressible Flow through Diffusers topic in chapter Compressible Flow through Nozzles, Diffusers and Wind Tunnels of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (b) False

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.
