existing duct = velometer (Google velometer). Calculate velocity if volume is known and the size of duct volume (cubic feet) multiplied, square feet feet of duct, IE. 1000 cubic foot of air * 12" x12"
square duct = 1000 cubic feet * 1sq. foot = 1000 feet per minute
It is a measure of speed in a specific direction
In order to measure velocity you need displacement (a start location and an end location) and time.
In HVAC terminology, a diffuser's neck velocity is defined as the velocity of air traveling through the duct work to the air outlet or inlet. The difference of the face velocity is this is a measurement of fume hood performance.
There is no synonym to velocity. there is no directionality in velocity. speed is a measure of rotation around a center expressed in revolutions per unit of time. Velocity is a measure of distance in units of time with no direction. Vectors indicate direction.
1800 ft min
The air is returning at a lower velocity, so you need a larger size duct.
For round duct, measure from one side to the other, and you have the diameter.
answer is
To calculate duct area, multiply the width of the duct by the height of the duct. This gives you the area in inches or centimeters, depending on the unit of measure used for the calculation.

are a measure of angular velocity whereas metres per minute are a measure of linear velocity.
In HVAC terminology, a diffuser's neck velocity is defined as the velocity of air traveling through the duct work to the air outlet or inlet. The difference of the face velocity is this is a measurement of fume hood performance.
Because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: it is a measure of how quickly velocity is changing.
velocity = distance travelled/time taken to travel that distance
