What type of intake is one that decreases gradually in area and then increases?
- Convergent.
- Convergent / Divergent.
- Divergent.
Explanation from PART66Online
An intake that first decreases in area and then increases is a convergent-divergent (con-di) duct. The convergent section accelerates the air, and the divergent section then decelerates it and recovers pressure; this geometry is used to control airflow on intakes that must handle high or supersonic speeds.
