d h = \frac{2 \cdot a \cdot b}{a + b}

$dh = (2* "a" * "b" )/( "a" + "b" )$

(a) width of the duct

$(a) "width of the duct"$

(b) height of the duct

$(b)"height of the duct"$

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(a) Width of the duct
(b) Height of the duct

Hydraulic Diameter (hd): The calculator returns the diameter in meters. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the Hydraulic Diameter of Rectangular Tubes or Ducts is:

dh= 2•a•b / (a + b)

where:

dh = hydraulic diameter of the rectangular duct
a = width of the duct
b = height of the duct
