$a = v\cdot \frac{dv}{dx}$ , $v (x) = v_{in}\cdot \left[1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1 \right)\cdot x \right]^{-1}$ , $\frac{dv}{dx} = -v_{in}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{L}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1 \right) \cdot \left[1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}} -1 \right) \cdot x \right]^{-2}$

Explanation:

Let suppose that fluid is incompressible and diffuser works at steady state. A diffuser reduces velocity at the expense of pressure, which can be modelled by using the Principle of Mass Conservation:

$\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = 0$

$\dot m_{in} = \dot m_{out}$

$\dot V_{in} = \dot V_{out}$

$v_{in} \cdot A_{in} = v_{out}\cdot A_{out}$

The following relation are found:

$\frac{v_{out}}{v_{in}} = \frac{A_{in}}{A_{out}}$

The new relationship is determined by means of linear interpolation:

$A (x) = A_{in} +\frac{A_{out}-A_{in}}{L}\cdot x$

$\frac{A(x)}{A_{in}} = 1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left( \frac{A_{out}}{A_{in}}-1\right)\cdot x$

After some algebraic manipulation, the following for the velocity as a function of position is obtained hereafter:

$\frac{v_{in}}{v(x)} = 1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1\right) \cdot x$

$v(x) = \frac{v_{in}}{1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1 \right)\cdot x}$

$v (x) = v_{in}\cdot \left[1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1 \right)\cdot x \right]^{-1}$

The acceleration can be calculated by using the following derivative:

$a = v\cdot \frac{dv}{dx}$

The derivative of the velocity in terms of position is:

$\frac{dv}{dx} = -v_{in}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{L}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}}-1 \right) \cdot \left[1 + \left(\frac{1}{L}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{v_{in}}{v_{out}} -1 \right) \cdot x \right]^{-2}$

The expression for acceleration is derived by replacing each variable and simplifying the resultant formula.
