Pressure Drop in Square Duct Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pressure Drop in Square Duct = (0.6*Friction Factor in Duct*Length of Duct*Mean Velocity of Air^2)/((Side^2)/(2*(Side+Side)))
ΔP_s = (0.6*f*L*V_m^2)/((S^2)/(2*(S+S)))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure Drop in Square Duct - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure Drop in Square Duct due to friction is the decrease in the value of the pressure due to the influence of friction.
Friction Factor in Duct - Friction Factor in Duct is dimensionless number depending upon the surface of the duct.
Length of Duct - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Duct is defined as the measurement or extent of something from end to end of ducts.
Mean Velocity of Air - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean Velocity of Air is defined as the time average of the velocity of a fluid at a fixed point, over a somewhat arbitrary time interval T counted from some fixed time t0.
Side - (Measured in Meter) - Side is an upright or sloping surface of a structure or object that is not the top or bottom and generally not the front or back.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Friction Factor in Duct: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Duct: 0.0654 Meter --> 0.0654 Meter No Conversion Required
Mean Velocity of Air: 15 Meter per Second --> 15 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Side: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔP_s = (0.6*f*L*V_m^2)/((S^2)/(2*(S+S))) --> (0.6*0.8*0.0654*15^2)/((9^2)/(2*(9+9)))

Evaluating ... ...

ΔP_s = 3.1392

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.1392 Pascal -->0.32 Millimeter Water (4 °C) (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.32 Millimeter Water (4 °C) <-- Pressure Drop in Square Duct
