In this problem the duct has two sections in series, one narrow (Ai, Li) and the other wider (Az, L~ Ly). The total pressure drop is AP = AP, + AP, 1 = on EL + ott . where c is a constant factor. The total duct volume is V=LA, +(L-L) Ay 2 Next, we identify the two degrees of freedom of the duct configuration, 8) ® By eliminating Ay, Az and Ly between Eqs. (1) ~ (4), we obtain the dimensionless global flow resistance AP: V7 (x+ cri \b +f(t-x)f 6) This expression has a minimum with respect to f, which is located by performing 0()/éf = 0 The result is f=1 (©)
