    Volume vs. Pressure

    I'm sure there is an easy equations for this but I just can't seem to remember.

    I have a 8" (diameter) fan producing 800 CFM. The diameter is being reduced down to 2.5".
    I would like to know how the diameter difference is going to change the flow rate and pressure.
    Thanks for any help or guidance.

    Is the reduction to 2.5" going to be on the intake side of the fan, or on the exhaust? Also, at what distance will the 2.5" diameter be from the fan? Will it be a smooth transition from 8" to 2.5" or will it be an abrupt transition?

    The transition will be smooth and on the exhaust side about 22 inches down the line.
