The velocity at the exit of a diffuser refers to the fluid velocity of a flow exiting a diffuser section in a fluid system. A diffuser is a flow passage in which the cross-sectional area gradually increases in the direction of flow. It is designed to slow down the fluid and increase its pressure.
- V2 represents the velocity at the exit of the diffuser.
- p1 is the pressure at the entrance (inlet) of the diffuser.
- p2 is the pressure at the exit of the diffuser.
- 𝜌 (rho) is the density of the fluid.
- A1 is the cross-sectional area at the entrance of the diffuser.
- A2 is the cross-sectional area at the exit of the diffuser.
