    Air Mean Unit
AI Thread Summary
SCFH, or Standard Cubic Feet per Hour, measures the volume of airflow adjusted for standard temperature and pressure. To convert SCFH to cubic meters per hour (m3/hr), it is important to recognize that SCFH translates to Nm3/hr, which accounts for normal conditions. The discussion highlights that higher pressure, such as 100 psi, increases the flow rate, resulting in a higher SCFM. Understanding these units is crucial for determining gas moles per hour and mass flow rates. Accurate conversion and comprehension of SCFH are essential for effective airflow calculations.

Hi.

What do we mean unit SCFH AIR ?
how can convert to m3/hr?

Standard Cubic Feet per Hour. Enough to get you started?

thanks a lot
 
Be aware:

That means it is the volume of air flow corrected to standard temperature and air pressure. Therefore, SCFH translates to Nm3/hr (Normal cubic meters per hour).

If you have 300 cfm of air at 100 psi, you've got a lot more SCFM.

The purpose of using these units is specifically so that you can determine the number of moles of gas per hour. Specifying SCFM is equivalent to specifying the mass flow rate.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
