• TP = SP + VP
• Static pressure –
–“Collapsing pressure” if it is less than
the atmospheric pressure
–“Bursting pressure” if it is more than
the atmospheric pressure

Equal-Friction Method
Figure 9. Friction Chart for Round Duct (ρ = 1.20 kg/m3 and ε = 0.09 mm)
Slide 86
METHODOLOGY:
• Decide what pressure drop will be available
• Compute the equivalent length of all runs (Sum of
all length of straight ducts plus the equivalent
length of fittings)
• Calculate the pressure drop per unit length for
longest run
• With same pressure drop per unit length and flow
rate in each section select the duct size of all those
sections
• For remaining sections, select the size to use the
available pressure drop but stay within velocities
appropriate for noise reductions.

dynamic programming procedure
