Pressure Loss Coefficient at Inlet of Duct Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pressure Loss Coefficient at 1 = (1-Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 1/Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 2)^2
C₁ = (1-A₁/A₂)^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Pressure Loss Coefficient at 1 - Pressure Loss Coefficient at 1 is the coefficient of pressure losses caused by a change in air direction from the elbow, offset, or takeoffs.
Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 1 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 1 is defined as the area of the section at point 1.
Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 2 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 2 is the area of the cross-section at section 2.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 1: 1.452941 Square Meter --> 1.452941 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 2: 0.95 Square Meter --> 0.95 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C₁ = (1-A₁/A₂)^2 --> (1-1.452941/0.95)^2

Evaluating ... ...

C₁ = 0.280276619923546

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.280276619923546 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.280276619923546 ≈ 0.280277 <-- Pressure Loss Coefficient at 1

LaTeX Go

Pressure Loss Coefficient at 1 = (1-Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 1/Cross-Sectional Area of Duct at Section 2)^2
C₁ = (1-A₁/A₂)^2

Causes of Dynamic Pressure loss

1. Change in air direction from elbows, offsets, and takeoffs
2. Restrictions or obstructions in the air stream - in/outlet fans, dampers, filters, and coils
3. Air velocity changes due to changes in duct sizes
