This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Diffuser Efficiency - The diffuser efficiency is defined as the ratio of static pressure rise in an actual process to the static pressure rise in an isentropic process.
Actual Static Pressure Rise - (Measured in Pascal) - Actual Static Pressure Rise denotes the change(increase) in pressure between two points in a diffuser considering losses.
Density of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Air taken at standard conditions.
Inlet Velocity to Diffuser - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Inlet Velocity to Diffuser is defined as the velocity of air at the inlet of diffuser.
Exit Velocity to Diffuser - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Exit Velocity to Diffuser is defined as the velocity of air at the exit of diffuser.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Static Pressure Rise: 39 Pascal --> 39 Pascal No Conversion Required
Density of Air: 1.293 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.293 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Inlet Velocity to Diffuser: 80 Meter per Second --> 80 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Exit Velocity to Diffuser: 79.61 Meter per Second --> 79.61 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_d = ΔP/(ρ/2*(C₁^2-C₂^2)) --> 39/(1.293/2*(80^2-79.61^2))

Evaluating ... ...
