The Science of Ductwork - Fundamentals of Airflow
No matter how perfectly your HVAC unit conditions the air, it can all go awry if the delivery method is not well thought out . The first step is understanding exactly how air behaves in a duct. From Bernoulli’s Theorem to friction, dynamic losses, system effect and more, we’ll visualize every step of the way to make the concepts intuitive and fun.
