Subject: Port Length


I used the following equation to get the port length.

Lv = (23562.5*Dv^2*Np/(Fb^2*Vb))-(k*Dv)


where,

Dv = port diameter =7.6(cm)
Fb = tuning frequency =50.58(Hz)
Vb = net volume =111.68(litres)
Lv = length of each port (cm)
Np = number of ports =1
k = end correction (normally 0.732)


and I get an Lv = -0.79

but if I change the port diameter to 10cm I get Lv=0.92cm.

Does the fact that it doesn't have a negative sign effect the value? Also I was wondering why the port lengths are so small? not even 1cm? Just doesn't seem correct.

Thanks
