Appendix II. Regression of the pressure drop on the connecting<br />

duct<br />

This appendix is to show the data process for the pressure drop on the connecting duct.<br />

The relationship of connecting duct flow velocity and pressure drop has been shown by<br />

Eq. (2.13). Choosing friction factor form as:<br />

k f<br />

f <br />

Re<br />

After a compensation of the gap of static and stagnant pressure, data from experiment<br />

were used to determine the relationship of duct flow velocity and overall pressure drop<br />

from the outlet of the blower to the chamber.<br />

Regressing the data gave a 0.1679 and k 0.4226 . The data from experiment and<br />

the fitted curve has been shown in Figure 2.14. So the relationship of velocity and<br />

pressure drop on the connecting duct can be expressed as Eq. (2.15).<br />
