- If you are refering to P. 51 in the Fourth Edition, I believe there

- What I get is:
-
- Lv = 1.463*10**7 * R**2 / (Fb**2 * Vb) - 1.698 * R
- ^^^^^

- Dickason has 1.463 for the second number -- other than this, the
- formula seems fine, looks like the 1.463 just was echoed into the
- later part of the formula twice. But this is only 0.5 inch or so for
- a R=2 port, no big thing. BTW this last correction subtracted is for
- the end effect on the vent. Make sure the units are all inches.

-
- OK, so far so good. Now, if I have two ports, I can calculate which sized
- single port their combined surface area equals, but what about length?
- Do I just jam the radius of one of the ports into the formula above,
- leaving the other parameters the same, or should they be modified in
- some way? Dickason makes no mention of this (at least not that I've
- found).
