I just wanted to know what CFM stands for in relation to air flow. What is the amount of CFM's a normal to small size turbo flows?

 

Cubic Feet per Minute

 

right CFM is cubic feet per minute which is a volumetric flow rate. u should also consider mass flow rates too. with centrifugal compressors, Q=volume flow rate and mdot=mass flow rate. Q is equal to the ratio of mdot to the density of air at the inlet. i could go into much more detail, but it would be easier to check out a fluid mechanics and or centrifugal compressor design text.

 

Maybe I can borrow the book Geoff lent you..

 

haha..geoff let me "borrow" the book about 2 months ago and he barely figured out it was missing today

 

*** you were supposed to bring it over twice today and what do i get?? "uhh i knew i forgot something"

give it back !!

 

its hard to remember things when u spend all night writing lab reports for other people

 

hmmm if i recall correctly you spent last night walking around in half of a knight's suit with no sword drinking amongst 2 very very large fat guys.

 

LOL... owned
