How Do You Convert 16 Meters Per Second Air Flow To Cubic Feet?
From chemical engineering to radiation detection, countless tasks demand accurate calculation of volumetric air flow rate. Commonly expressed in terms of cubic feet per minute, the volume of air flowing through a duct is very difficult to measure directly. This rate can be easily derived, however, from the measured air velocity. Multiply 16 meters per second (mps) by 60. This will give you the air velocity expressed in “meters per minute”–i.e., 960 meters per minute. Multiply 960 meters per minute by 3.28. Because there are 3.28 feet in a meter, the product will be the air velocity expressed in “feet per minute”–i.e., 3,148.8 feet per minute. Using the ruler, measure the area of the opening through which the air is flowing. If the opening is rectangular, multiply the length by the width to determine the area. If the opening is circular, multiply the diameter by 0.5 and square the result. Multiply this figure by 3.14 to arrive at the area of the circular opening. Note: Measure the len
