Pressure drop in circular ventilation channels.

Ventilation pipe with circular section

Calculates the pressure drop or the dynamic pressure drop of a channel part suction or blowing air (ventilation channel).
For circuits composed by different parts with different sections is necessary calculate separately and sum the results of each part.

Data input
