Abstract
The problem of equalizing the two dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid through a plane lattice of radial plates has been solved approximately by Mitrokhin [1]. In the following we present an approximate solution of the same problem for a cascade of thin curved blades which have a radial direction at the entrance. The bases of the proposed solution are the same assumptions as used in [1]. The formulas of Mitrokhin for the cascade of radial plates are a particular case which derives from the formulas obtained for the flow equalization radius and energy losses associated with separated flow.
