I was doing some research for my senior design project and came across a problem.
We are working with the PacWind Detla I wind generator and need to mimic high wind conditions. You see, we don't want to have to rely on just the natural wind for generation, we would like to create a high wind environment so that we can get the most out of our generator. Higher wind speed = more output power.
My problem is that most industrial fans are rated in CFM, which is air volume speed, not air speed.
I need to figure out how to convert from CFM to mph (or m/s) or any form of air speed.
Is there anybody in here that can help me?
