Oblique shock diffuser has a better pressure recovery than a normal shock diffuser.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me in examination.My query is from Quasi-One-Dimensional Flow Diffusers in portion Quasi-One-Dimensional Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct option is (a) True

The best explanation: In an oblique shock diffuser, the ACCELERATED flow is slowed down by a SERIES of oblique shock waves followed by SLOWING down of the flow by a weak normal wave at the end of the diffuser. THEREFORE, the STATIC pressure at the exit of the diffuser is equal to p∞. The pressure recovery in case of an oblique shock diffuser is greater because of lower total pressure loss compares to the normal shock diffuser.
