Calculation Formula

Air Velocity (V) = Q / A

Where:
V = Air Velocity (m/s)
Q = Volumetric Flow Rate (m³/s)
A = Duct Area (m²)

How to Use the Air Velocity Calculator

  1. Enter the volumetric flow rate (Q) in cubic meters per second (m³/s) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the duct area (A) in square meters (m²) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the air velocity.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Air Velocity (V)" field in meters per second (m/s).

Working Principle

The air velocity (V) is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate (Q) by the duct area (A). This formula is derived from the basic principle of fluid dynamics, which states that the flow rate is equal to the velocity multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the flow.

Formula: V = Q / A

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), environmental engineering, and industrial processes where controlling air flow is critical.
