Line 1: Inlet Section
Line 2: Target Volume Flow Rate, Q = 1500 CFM (Given).
Line 3: Minimum Transport Velocity, V = 4000 FPM
(Given).
Line 4: Maximum Duct Diameter, D = 8.29
We know Q = V * A
Hence Duct Area = Q / A
= 1500 / 4000 = 0.375 Sq. Ft.
We know A = (Pi * D
2
) / 4
Hence, D = 8.29
Design Procedure 9
Design Procedure
Line 5: Selected duct diameter = 8
We got Maximum Duct Diameter D = 8.29
We have to choose a diameter that is less than maximum
selected diameter so that minimum transport velocity is
not maintained in the duct.
So, lets choose 8 diameter.
Note: Your choice is limited by the sizes given in the
table.
Line 6: Duct Area = 0.349 Sq. ft.
Duct Area (from TABLE 5-8 at D = 8) = 0.349 Sq. ft.
Line 7: Actual Duct Velocity = 4298 FPM
Velocity = Q / Area = 1500 / 0.349 = 4928 fpm

From TABLE 5-15 for a hood that has a flanged duct
end, entry loss coefficient is 0.49
