Question: Q 1 ) For a Drafting Room the ducting system of which is shown below, consider losses at fan inlet and outlet 0 . 1

Q1) For a Drafting Room the ducting system of which is shown below, consider losses at fan inlet and outlet 0.15 in.w each, and the total pressure required at each air outlet is 0.20 in w. Using the equal friction method, following the format of Table 8.10(only this table is needed for your solution of parts (i) and (ii) below):
(40 marks)
(I) Consider the longest path only, size all the sections (along the main pipe) and the ducts height must be 15 in. Show, for all cfms and pipe sizes on a piping layout (see Fig 8.31).
(15 marks)
(II) Find the total pressure loss for fan sizing. It is crucial that you use 0.15in.w everywhere as duct friction loss Hf100ft. Remember that only the longest path is to be considered here.
(13 marks)
(III) Show in detail how you determine "C" and Hf for the elbow only.
(IV) Select a suitable diffuser at G and supply ALL the necessary information.

(a) Consider smooth transition at branch take-off and Tees
(b) TABULATE YOUR WORK in parts (i) and (ii) as shown in the textbook (see Table 8.10);
