Do I have the concept right though?
And pardon me, I'm a lad. I don't get much attention in a school full of boys :')

Well yeah, but since that'd be the correct height according to the round port.. If I round over the inside's edges of the port and then put a roundover on the outside, wouldn't that be just the same as the round port?
If I have to start chopping up the length, I'd need to be linear. I can't do easy things. A 16th off of the back is a 16th of the surface area on the front extra, then?
tell me if I'm wrong, and explain.

Now I'm getting confused....rounding off the edges to increase the volume of the port so you don't have to do the length? You can't mean that? You still have to create the right volume. I'm misunderstanding you
nono, rounding off the edges to reduce small chuffing. Though, there's shouldn't be any chuffing as the volume of the port would be the same as the circle port right?
I can always use cheap chipboard to test right?

I don't think it would make any difference since it's the same area, but, it's going to be a very thin slot, I'm not sure whether that would cause a problem with chuffing, sorry
But it's the same surface area at the mounth (the end of the port) as the round port. That'd means: if the slot chuffs, the round one does too; but worse.

I think there would probably be no difference as you say, but I wouldn't like to stake my life on it! I'm hoping someone else might pipe(!) up and say if they've had any experience with what you are trying to do. It's just that the slot is going to be less than half an inch high....unless.....you shorten the length then you can make it larger....
Would 3/4 of an inch be better? Could you help me calculate what the length should be?
And how I could calculate how much to add for the displacement of the port's wood. length and width of the back, and x is a missing parameter we calculate?

Sure, I'll look back over the posts and do some calculations, give me a few minutes. You were on the right track so see what you come up with for a 3/4 *7 inch port, and we'll compare results.....
the port is 7 inches long, but not 3/4 inch tall, isn't it? Is that your mistake?
i'll recalculate what I did just for me, and write it on paper.
i'm honestly very glad I did this.

area is square inches, yes. You suggested 3/4 inch high port, I was going with that to calculate the length, ok?
With the correct formula for the surface area of the circle right?
So far I've come out that the height would be 0.4487inches when full length. Would that match what you have?
I actually know almost all vital numbers of Pi out of my head. 3.14159265359. Right?
