The calculation
S = N × π × (D / 2)² Leff = c² × S / (4π² × Fb² × Vb) L = Leff − k × (D / 2) c = 343 m/s; SI units inside the formula
Assumptions & limits
Helmholtz approximation for straight round ports. Net volume excludes the port assembly and other solid displacement. Flared ends, nearby walls, losses and air velocity need separate assessment. k is the selected total end correction in radii.
