REF-01 Core Physics Engine
Reference: Darcy-Weisbach Equation
hf=f· LD· V22g
f: friction factor · L: length · D: diameter · V: velocity · g: gravity

Governs friction-loss modelling across the app's airflow and hydronic physics core.

REF-02 Duct Sizing Engine
Reference: ASHRAE / Huebscher Equation
de=1.30· (a·b)0.625(a+b)0.250
a, b: duct side dimensions · de: equivalent round diameter

Converts rectangular ducts to equivalent round diameter for optimized, low-friction ductwork.

REF-03 Pipe Sizing Engine
Reference: ASHRAE Fundamentals, Chapter 22
Δp=f· LD· ρV22
ρ: density · Δp: pressure drop · per ASHRAE Fundamentals, Ch. 22

Hydronic pipe sizing and allowable pressure-drop limits per ASHRAE guidance.
