Hi Gang

 

I came across a abstraction of  K&W’s theory of the Streamline duct that I put together a number of year ago.  While it is my interpretation and therefore subject to error, I have not found anything in the intervening years that indicates a misunderstanding.  While it is not exactly light reading, I think it is easier to follow than K&W.

 

In any case, I thought I would make it available to promote understanding and discussion {:>)) of one approach to cooling our installations.

 

This paper targets four topic areas:

 

• Diffusers In General
• StreamLine Duct
• Importance of Inlet to Core area ( A_i/A_B ratio)
• Truncation of StreamLine Duct

 

 

Best Regards
