Definitions Definitions

Shrouding the
impeller has the
merit of
eliminating the
tip leakage; but
increases the
friction losses.

Shrouding
appears to be
damaging at
high speeds but
The function of the vaned diffuser is to reduce the
beneficial at
area over which diffusion takes place. It has a
low speeds.
drawback at off-design operating conditions
