The airflow in a 6-inch round duct typically ranges from about 100 to 150 cubic feet per minute (CFM), depending on factors like air velocity and system pressure. A general rule of thumb is to estimate around 100 CFM for each 6-inch duct, assuming standard conditions and a moderate airflow velocity. However, the exact CFM can vary based on specific system design and application. For precise calculations, it's best to refer to engineering guidelines or use duct airflow calculators.

if the area given is 100 square inches you can use 10" by 10" duct due to a black art known as aerodynamics or compressible fluid flow, you will get the same back pressure in a 10" diameter round duct and a 2" x 50" duct considerably more back pressure a nice manufactured 90 will take as much back pressure as 50' of duct a tight curved 90 will take as much as 100 feet of duct fans have a curve that goes from maximum cfm at no pressure to minimum cfm at max pressure the fan will require the most power when cfm * pressure is highest simple as rocket science i guess
Air return duct and filter grille size is dictated by the size of the unit (CFM) not the size of the house.
You need 350 to 400 cfm per ton (12,000 btu) of cooling. So, divide your cfm by 400. For example, a 1200 cfm blower on an air handler could handler up to 3 tons. All calculations depend on your duct being the proper size for the equipment.
There are 400 cfm in 1 ton
24" round duct or equal. register should be about 2 cfm per sq. inch. or 800 sq. inches for 4 tons
To find cubic feet per minute (CFM) in a duct, you can use the formula: CFM = Air Velocity (feet per minute) × Duct Area (square feet). Measure the air velocity using an anemometer and calculate the duct area by multiplying the width and height for rectangular ducts or using the formula for the area of a circle (π × radius²) for round ducts. Multiply these two values to get the CFM. Alternatively, you can use duct flow measurement devices or tools for an accurate reading.

The recommended return air duct size for optimal HVAC system performance is typically 1 square inch per 1 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air flow.
~ 1000 cfm
answer is
350
To determine the appropriate duct size for moving 2000 CFM of air, you can use the Air Flow Velocity formula, which suggests an optimal air velocity range of 600 to 900 feet per minute (FPM) for residential systems. Using an average velocity of around 800 FPM, a round duct size of approximately 14 inches in diameter is recommended. For rectangular ducts, a size of about 10 inches by 14 inches is typically suitable. Always consider local codes and specific system requirements when finalizing duct sizes.
To calculate the formula for duct sizing divide the room load by the whole house load. Next multiply those results by the equipment CFM.
1tr = 400 cfm
It depends. If your bedroom has a supply AND return duct, then no. If there is only a supply duct, and you shut your bedroom door, this pressurizes the bedroom and limits the CFM delivered into the bedroom. A room to room vent or duct would equalize this pressure and allow maximum CFM to be delivered from the central air/heat system.
