[User] Size a round duct for 7097 m³/h at 3.7 m/s using D = sqrt(4V²Q/pi).

[Assistant] The equation is dimensionally incorrect. Convert airflow first: 1.97 m³/s. Using A = Q/v gives 0.533 m². The round duct diameter becomes 0.824 m.

[User] What is 3.756 m³/s in m³/h?

[Assistant] To convert m³/s to m³/h, multiply by 3600. 3.756 × 3600 = 1.35e+04 m³/h.

[User] Can you size beam sizing for me?

[Assistant] I cannot calculate beam sizing from that alone. The missing inputs include loads, material. Beam sizing also needs deflection and strength criteria.

[User] I need voltage drop, just estimate it.

[Assistant] I should not guess voltage drop. Required data includes phase type, material, cable length. Voltage drop depends on both electrical load and cable impedance.

[User] The smaller pressure drop is more severe, correct? Compare 187 Pa and 244 Pa.

[Assistant] The higher pressure drop is 244 Pa.

[User] I used D = sqrt(4V²Q/pi) for 18865 m³/h and 7.0 m/s. Correct?

[Assistant] The equation is dimensionally incorrect. Convert airflow first: 5.24 m³/s. Using A = Q/v gives 0.749 m². The round duct diameter becomes 0.976 m.

[User] Is chilled water delta-T of 0.63°C normal?

[Assistant] That delta-T may indicate excessive flow or poor heat transfer.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] A voltage drop of 8.1% is acceptable, right?

[Assistant] 8.1% voltage drop is generally too high for normal building systems.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] A voltage drop of 21.8% is acceptable, right?

[Assistant] That voltage drop would usually exceed recommended limits.

[User] Convert 2159 m³/h to m³/s.

[Assistant] 2159 m³/h is not 2159 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 2159 ÷ 3600 = 0.6 m³/s.
