you want to find the ID of the inlet, not the hose.

then do this
R= radius (1/2 of the ID)

area of inlet = 3.14 x R x R

then take the area and divide it by the # of channels you are going to use. the resulting # is the area that each channel should be.

if you want perfectly square channels take the answer from above and find its square root. otherwise just estimate with rectangle sizes to get the same area.
