Total pressure loss in a normal shock diffuser is less than the oblique shock diffuser.

Total pressure loss in a normal shock diffuser is less than the oblique shock diffuser. Correct Answer False

In case of an oblique shock diffuser, the total pressure drop across multiple oblique hocks followed by a weak normal shock is less than a strong normal shock in case of normal shock diffuser. This is why it is preferred to opt for an oblique shock diffuser that manages to slow down the accelerated flow with lesser pressure loss.
