Hi all...

Please excuse the apparent noobiness of the question.

I would like to know if there is a guideline for power density per kg/hr of air flow. Alternatively, is it better to base power density on air velocity?

For a given flow of air, let's say 2500 kg/hr, what power density should be aimed for? Or should the velocity of the air as a function of ductwork size be the driver for power density?

Your thoughts are welcomed...

Thanks
