The reason the .docx file was so huge, I believe, was that it consisted of several pages scanned from a textbook. Those image files are generally dumped into the .docx file with no compression.gneill said:Thanks. Wow! 2.4 MB docx file becomes a 171 KB pdf, and it boils down to a half page of text.

Is not this column for straight pipe only (not equivalent length)?pinkcashmere said:
The Equal Friction Method is a commonly used method for sizing air ducts in HVAC systems. It is based on the principle that the static pressure loss per unit length of the duct remains constant throughout the system, resulting in equal air velocities at each section of the duct.
To calculate duct sizes using the Equal Friction Method, you will need to determine the friction rate per 100 feet of duct based on the air velocity, duct size, and type of duct material. Then, using the friction rate, you can calculate the total equivalent length of the duct system and determine the appropriate duct size for each section.
One of the main advantages of using the Equal Friction Method is its simplicity. It is a straightforward method that can be easily applied to most duct systems. It also ensures that the air velocity remains constant throughout the duct system, resulting in better system performance and efficiency.
While the Equal Friction Method is widely used, it does have some limitations. It assumes that the air velocity remains constant, which may not always be the case in complex duct systems. It also does not take into account the effects of fittings and changes in the duct system that may affect the air velocity.
Yes, there are other methods for duct sizing, such as the Static Regain Method and the T-Method. These methods take into account the effects of fittings and changes in the duct system. They are more complex and time-consuming, but may provide more accurate results in certain cases.
