ABSTRACT:
A diffuser is disclosed which provides intersecting passages extending outwardly from an inner circumference which closely surrounds the periphery of the impeller output stage of a centrifugal compressor. The passages are of curvilinear cross-section having entrance throat regions of an eccentric configuration designed to minimize the build-up of shock waves in the fluid flowing from the outlet of an impeller whose blade tips are traveling at supersonic speed. The configuration of the throat region is such that it closely matches the velocity vector profiles of fluid particles which leave the central region of an impeller blade at supersonic velocities and an appreciable angle above the tangential whereas particles leaving near the front and back shrouds of the impeller travel slower at angles approaching the tangential.
