1 Supply Air Flow Rate

Required Cooling Capacity = 12553.65 j/s

Specific heat capasity = 1000 j/kg.K
Temp difference = 12 0
C (Supply 12 C & Return 24 C)
=
Mass flow rate = 1.05 kg/s
Air density(20C) = 1.204 kg/m3

Supply Air flo rate = 0.87 m3/s

= 868.88 l/s = 3128 CMH
Supply flow rate from 1 flexible = 289.63 l/s = 1042.7 CMH

Fresh Air flow rate = 78.75 l/s (Calculated data)

Return Flow Rate = 790.13 l/s

Return Flow Rate form 1 flexible = 263.38 l/s

2 Flexible Duct Pressure drop

200 mm flexible duct pressure drop = 0.5 in Aq/100ft (manufactures data)
= 12.5 Pa/100ft
= 0.41 Pa/m
Tota flexible pressure drop(13m) = 2.87 pa
