Displacement of CFM at 5km/h in 10ft x 50ft Cylinder

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the displacement of cubic feet per minute (CFM) for air moving at 5 km/h through a cylinder measuring 10 feet in diameter and 50 feet long. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding CFM and suggest that the original poster should apply basic mathematical principles to find the answer. There is a request for resources or links to help with the calculation, indicating a need for further clarification on the topic. The conversation highlights the importance of engaging with the problem-solving process rather than relying solely on external help. Overall, the thread focuses on the calculation of air displacement in a cylindrical space.

hello,
what would be the displacement of cfm when the wind is moving at 5km/h through a cylinder 10ft in diameter by 50 feet long. Thanks!

Welcome to PF!

What's a CFM? You should be able to figure this out easily on your own by looking at the units and applying some math.
 
mr watters could you send a link please..have been trying
 
thank you
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
