Diffuser and Nozzle Design Optimization by Entropy Generation Minimization [PDF]
Entropy, 2011 Diffusers and nozzles within a flow system are optimized with respect to their wall shapes for a given change in cross sections. The optimization target is a low value of the head loss coefficient K, which can be linked to the overall entropy generation due to the conduit component.
