Title: An experimental investigation on the effect of subsonic inlet mach number on the performance of conical diffusers
Abstract: Experiments have been performed to determine the effect of subsonic inlet Mach number on diffuser performance and flow régimes for a wide range of conical diffuser geometries. For incompressible flow the line of first appreciable stall, line a-a, is essentially that found by McDonald and Fox. As the Mach number is increased, the flow tends more toward separation in all cases. Diffuser performance maps are presented for three different inlet Mach numbers (M1 = 0·25, 0·55, 0·70). There is no significant variation in the location of the line of maximum performance at constant length to inlet radius ratio, line α-α, with inlet Mach number.
