Too-steep transition adds pressure drop/noise
Yellow / Check First2ndBatch 5
What This Helps With
Too-steep transition adds pressure drop/noise
Apprentice words: transition
Trade terms: transition, slope, taper angle
Check First
Slope/angle the design allows and orientation
What Not To Do
Guess an angle that 'looks fine'
What can go wrong: Making a steep transition to save space
Better Foreman Question
What slope does the design want on this transition?
