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

In summary, CFM (cubic feet per minute) is a unit of measurement for airflow, and it refers to the amount of air that is moved or displaced within a cylinder in one minute. The speed of airflow, such as 5km/h, does not significantly affect the displacement of CFM in a 10ft x 50ft cylinder. The displacement of CFM can be calculated by multiplying the cylinder's area by the airflow velocity. It is important to measure the displacement of CFM in a cylinder to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the airflow, as well as to select the appropriate size and power of the source needed. Factors that can also impact the displacement of CFM include the shape and design of the cylinder, air

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.

1) What is CFM and how does it relate to displacement in a cylinder?

CFM stands for cubic feet per minute and it is a unit of measurement for airflow. In the context of displacement in a cylinder, CFM refers to the amount of air that is moved or displaced within the cylinder in one minute.

2) How does a speed of 5km/h affect the displacement of CFM in a 10ft x 50ft cylinder?

The speed of 5km/h does not have a significant impact on the displacement of CFM in the cylinder. The displacement of CFM is primarily dependent on the size of the cylinder and the power of the source creating the airflow.

3) How is displacement of CFM calculated in a cylinder?

The displacement of CFM in a cylinder can be calculated by multiplying the area of the cylinder (in square feet) by the velocity of the airflow (in feet per minute). This will give you the volume of air moved in one minute, which is equivalent to CFM.

4) Why is displacement of CFM important to measure in a cylinder?

Displacement of CFM is important to measure in a cylinder because it gives an indication of the efficiency and effectiveness of the airflow. It can also help in determining the appropriate size and power of the source needed to achieve the desired airflow rate.

5) What other factors besides speed and cylinder size can affect the displacement of CFM?

Other factors that can affect the displacement of CFM in a cylinder include the shape and design of the cylinder, the density of the air, and any obstructions or restrictions in the airflow path. Temperature and humidity can also have an impact on the displacement of CFM.
