A performance prediction method for high inlet Mach number conical diffusers is developed, which uses the kinetic energy deficit equation in the calculation of the compressible turbulent boundary layer. A power law velocity profile is assumed together with Crocco's relation for the temperature distribution. Following Green, Morkovin's hypothesis is invoked to extend to the compressible flow the existing relations for the shear work integral originally developed for incompressible boundary layers. Comparison of the predicted results with available experimental results shows good agreement.
