Aerospace Engineering > GATE 2026 > Centrifugal Compressor
A centrifugal compressor has a constant-width radial diffuser. The diameters at the diffuser inlet and outlet are 0.2 m and 0.3 m, respectively. The flow at the diffuser inlet and outlet is assumed to be steady and uniform. The average velocity at the diffuser inlet and outlet are (60 êr + 75 êθ) m/s and (u êr + 50 êθ) m/s, respectively. If the flow through the diffuser is treated as steady and incompressible, the value of u is ________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Correct : 40
