In planar angle diffuser, the increasement of cross-sectional area so rapidly cause possibly separate from the diffuser wall and forming areas of backflow. The flow characteristics of planar angle diffuser was investigated for three kind of inclined angle. Judging from the results, wide planar diffuser can be used as an effective means of improvement for diffuser performance and inclined angle of diffuser was through to be the best among three cases.

Rotating stall in vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressor occurs in the diffuser wall due to flow separation at large inlet flow angle. For this reason, the critical inlet flow angles are suggested by several researchers. Beyond this critical angle, flow separates in the diffuser, and develops into rotating stall. This paper studied this critical flow angle. Rotating stall is measured through eight fast-response pressure transducers which are equally spaced around the circumference at the inlet and exit of a vaneless diffuser. Experiments are done from 20000rpm to 60000rpm for the diffuser stall. Two-cell structure which rotates at $6{\~}l0{\%}$ of impeller speed is fully developed at $20000{\~}40000rpm$, and three-cell structure which rotates at $7{\~}9{\%}$ of impeller speed is fully developed at $50000{\~}60000rpm$. This paper shows that the critical inlet flow angle is not constant but related with tip speed of impeller. As tip speed increases, so does the critical inlet flow angle.

In wide angle diffuser, the increasement of cross-sectional area so rapidly cause possibly separate from the diffuser wall and forming areas of backflow. The flow characteristics of wide angle diffuser with guide damper was investigated for three kind of inclined angle($\alpha=7_{\circ},\;10.5_{\circ}\;and\;14_{\circ}$)of guide damper. Judging from the results, guide damper can be used as an effective means of improvement for diffuser performance and inclined angle of $\alpha=10.5^{\circ}$ was through to be the best among three cases.

In wide angle diffuser, the cross-sectional area increases so rapidly that separation can be avoided only by using boundary layer control. In this study, an experimental and numerical study is performed on performance of a diffuser with guide damper. A series of measurements were carried out to investigate the characteristics of diffuser for different divergence angle(${\phi}=7^{\circ}, \;10.5^{\circ}\;and\; 14^{\circ}$) of guide damper and angle of ${\phi}=10.5^{\circ}$ was through to be the best among three cases. Judging from the results, guide damper can be used as an effective means of improvement for diffuser performance.

Recently for the impressive gains of performance and efficiency over vaneless diffuser with apparently little or no loss in flow range, the use of LSVD(Low Solidity Vaned Diffuser) is well recommended. The experiments on the effect of the vane turning angle variation(positive, negative, zero) with other design parameters fixed on the performance and flow range were carried out. Diffuser with zero turning angle has the best characteristics in terms of performance and efficiency and The FFT results show the different frequency characteristics due to the vane turning angle in low flow range.

The flow characteristics of the vaned diffuser were complicated with geometric shapes. We have studied the effects of various vaned diffuser configurations, such as divergence angles and rectangular and conical cross-section shapes. Numerical analyses are carried out for the diffuser and casing. The pressure recovery coefficient was calculated to estimate the performance of the diffuser, and then compared with the measure data. Results show that the shapes and the divergence angles of the diffuser strongly influence on the performance of the small-size turbo-compressor.

Industrial electrostatic precipitators require a highly uniform velocity distribution in the collecting chamber. Increasing divergence angle of a diffuser makes a non-uniformity flow distribution characteristics on the diffuser exit. This paper provides CFD results of optimum positions and opening rates of perforated plates which were installed in the electrostatic precipitator. The considered divergence angels were 60 degree and 90 degree. In 90 degree diffuser, a blanking method was used.

To improve annular jet pump (AJP) performance, new ways named constant rate of velocity/pressure change method (CRVC/CRPC) were adopted to design its diffuser. The design formulas were derived according to the assumption of linear velocity/pressure variation in the diffuser. Based on the two-dimensional numerical simulations, the effect of the diffuser profile and the included angle on the pump performance and the internal flow details has been analyzed. The predicted results of the RNG k-epsilon turbulence model show a better agreement with the experiment data than that of the standard and the realizable k-epsilon turbulence models. The AJP with the CRPC diffuser produces a linear pressure increase in the CRPC diffuser as expected. The AJP with CRPC/CRVC diffuser has better performance when the diffuser included angle is greater or the diffuser length is shorter. Therefore, the AJP with CRPC/CRVC diffuser is suitable for applications requiring space limitation and weight restriction.

This study presents the centrifugal compressor performance for three different vane stagger angles and wall pressure distribution within vaned diffuser channels, and is also discussed about the stability with respect to the compressor components. As the vane stagger angle decreases, the flow rate for the stall onset decreases, and higher pressure can be obtained at the low flow rate region, however, the effective operation range of the compressor decreases because of the blockage effect of the diffuser vane. Low pressure pocket within the vaned diffuser channel moves from the pressure side of leading edge to the suction side as the flow rate decreases. The compressor system stability mainly depends on that of the diffuser.
