Basics of Air Velocity, Pressure and Flow - Validyne Engineering
Air velocity can be measured by sensing the pressure produced by the movement of the air. This application note will describe the basic relationships between air velocity and the pressure generated by air flow.
UNDER PRESSURE: THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AIR MOVEMENT
2019年7月10日 · This article explains the basic principle of air movement; how creating a pressure differential is the key to creating a flow of air; and how we can measure pressure – the first step in selecting the right fan to provide the desired air flow.

Fundamentals of Air System Design - ASHRAE
How to start an air system and diagnose common problems associated with air system start-up. Fundamentals of Air Flow - Static and dynamic compressible fluid (air) laws, friction effects, the friction chart, and density and altitude effects.
Identify basic airflow concepts and science. Recognize the types of equipment and devices that are part of modern air distribution and ventila-tion systems for home and commercial applications. Identify the major sources of indoor air pollution and contamination.
To illustrate the air distribution basics and the issues faced when implementing a robust duct design methodology for an energy efficient house, two theoretical houses that meet the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) prescriptive path were modeled.
Designing an effective air distribution system and duct layout requires a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics including vital aspects like air velocity, pressure, and the conservation of mass. Starting with the basics, let's start at the most elementary level of airflow fundamentals. 1.2.1 Basic Definitions
Airflow Basics - Part 1 - ACCA HVAC Blog
2019年5月15日 · Let’s look at the three basic components of airflow: volume, velocity and pressure. Volume. Standard air is air that is 70ºF with 50% RH, at sea level. We measure air volume as a rate in cubic feet per minute (cfm). 1 ft3 of standard air weighs .0741 pounds. 13.33 ft3 = 1 pound of air.
