Building a bridge between industry and theory on the example of a new ventilation system

The paper presents the possibilities of simplified determination of the air volumetric flow rate in ventilation ducts. This problem occurred during the tests of local losses in the elements of a new ventilation system based on ducts with a rounded rectangular cross-section. The presented method requires mathematical modelling of the flow velocity distribution in the ducts. The paper presents four models of the velocity distribution. The necessity of using so many models resulted from the wide coverage of the tested sections: A(max)/A(min) = 46.88.
