Diffúzorokon

Diffúzorokon, often translated as diffusers, are devices designed to reduce the turbulence and increase the pressure of a fluid flow by gradually increasing the cross-sectional area of the flow path. This process is based on the principle of conservation of energy, specifically Bernoulli's principle. As the fluid flows through a diffuser, its velocity decreases, and according to Bernoulli's principle, this decrease in kinetic energy is converted into an increase in potential energy, manifesting as an increase in static pressure.

Diffusers are commonly found in various engineering applications. In automotive design, rear diffusers are integrated into the underside of vehicles to manage airflow and reduce drag. By accelerating the air exiting from under the car, they create a low-pressure zone that effectively pulls the vehicle downwards, improving traction and stability, especially at higher speeds. In HVAC systems, diffusers are used to distribute conditioned air evenly into a room from ducts. They are designed to spread the airflow and reduce its velocity, preventing drafts and ensuring comfortable air circulation. Air intake systems for jet engines and gas turbines also incorporate diffusers to slow down the incoming air and raise its pressure before it enters the compressor stages. The efficiency of a diffuser is typically measured by its pressure recovery coefficient, which indicates how effectively it converts kinetic energy into static pressure. The design of a diffuser, including its angle and length, is critical for its performance and depends heavily on the specific application and the characteristics of the fluid being handled.
