Duct design • Two objectives: • Define the size of duct sections • Define the pressure drop • Process: • Position and size diffusers • Layout desired pattern for supply • and return ducts • Calculate the flow rates for each duct • section • Select the duct diameter for each section • Measure the length for each section • Calculate the pressure loss for each section • Count the number, and define the type, of fittings and elbows • Calculate the pressure drop in fittings and • elbows • - Calculate the total pressure drop
Local losses • Losses associated with • Changes in velocity • Obstructions • Bends • Fittings and transitions

Non-circular Ducts • Also you can use hydraulic diameter
Local Loss Coefficients ΔP local = CoPdynmaic
