Optimization of Conical Micro-Diffusers and Micro-Nozzles Considering Entropy Generation

Fluid flow characteristics and entropy generation in a circular diffuser/nozzle element are studied numerically. The flow is assumed to be isothermal, laminar and incompressible with constant thermo-physical properties. The velocity field, mass flow rate, and entropy generation are investigated for...
