SRR99: while I agree 100% with you, I noted an error in one of your post on 29 October (3rd para):

Speeding gas up drops its pressure, while slowing it down increases it. That is why there are components with names like nozzles and diffusers. Diffusers expand the gas, slow it down, and drop the static pressure. Nozzles tend to do the opposite, and direct the flow in the desired direction.


Was it a typo, or did you really meant that?
