The dimensions of a duct system, supplying air at 20°C to two zones 5 and 6 are shown in Fig. The flow rates
to the two zones are 1.4 m³/s and 1.0 m³/s respectively. The fan generates a total pressure of 285 kPa at the
entrance section 1.
Calculate (a)
(i) the velocity pressures in the duct sections,
(ii) (ii) the total pressures at all sections from 1 to 6.
(b) If a damper is installed just upstream of section 5 to make the total pressures at 5 and 6 equal, calculate
the required pressure loss through the damper.
