12.43 Design the duct system shown in Fig. 12-39 using the balanced-capacity method and a spreadsheet. Circular ducts are to be used and installed below a concrete slab, The total pressure available at the plenum is 0.18 in, wg, and each diffuser has a loss in total pressure of 0,025 in. wg. Use the equivalent- length method of allowing for losses in the fittings. m0 etn 10 cFn 10 cfm 1m cfm 0 cen + et ® ret oe @ler 125 etn Figure 12-39, Schematic for Problem 12-43.
