The friction factor for the duct may take the form as [42]:<br />

Re<br />

Regressing the data from experiment gave a 0.1679 and k 0.4226 for air flow<br />

through the duct (see Figure 2.14 and see Appendix II for calculation details).<br />

Figure 2.14 Connecting duct pressure drop vs. airflow velocity<br />

Thus the relationship of the velocity and pressure drop along the connecting duct can be<br />

expressed as:<br />

The minor head losses were incorporated in the equivalent friction factor f D . When the<br />

pressure at ADU outlet is known, the instantaneous pressure in the chamber may be<br />

calculated by rearranging Eq. (2.15) into:<br />
