MEP_Engine: Circular Flow Area Velocity #2815

Closed travispotterBH closed 2 years ago

travispotterBH commented 2 years ago

Description:

Part of the duct pressure drop calculations initiative (R&D Wishlist 00022_Hydronic Calculations and Duct Pressure Loss).

Compute method in MEP_Engine. Arguments: fluid volumetric flow rate, circular diameter (for non-circular ducts, use circular equivalent diameter)

Output: Velocity of fluid through a circular flow area, typically used in duct or pipe pressure calculations.

Equation: V = Q/A = Q/(pi*(D/2)^2)

where D = circular equivalent of rectangular duct for equal length, fuid resistance, and airfow Q= flow A = circular area
