Question

Determine the fans airflow in m^3/s.Fan has an airflow of about 1.55x10^3 ft^3/minMeaning that about 1.55x10^3 cubic feet of air move over the fan blades each minute

Answer 1

0.732 m^3/s

Explanation:

We must convert from ft^3/min to m^3/s.

To do this, we must take into account the following conversion factors:

1 meter is equal to 3.28 feet

1 minute is equal to 60 seconds

Knowing this, we do the conversion just like this:

`1.55*10^3(ft^3)/(min)\cdot\left(\frac{1\text{ m}}{3.28\text{ ft}}\right)^3\cdot\frac{1\text{ min}}{60\text{ s}}=0.732\text{ m}^3\text{/s}`

The fans airflow in m^3/s is 0.732
