L 1. Dia =2r (2x radius)
W=18” 2. Dia = Ჶ
3. Pia =  = 3.14
4. Circumference = D = 2r
H=24” Ჶ =23.5”

If you want to convert

rectangular duct to round,
W x H = /4 x D2
D2 = 4 x W x H/ 

Transition Area = (W+H+𝐃)xL D = 4 x W x H/ 

D = 4 x 18 x 24/3.1415
Excel Sheet for calculation
D = 23.45”
