[edit] Proposed outline

30 years in turbomachinery aero-thermo development has given me a good feel for how SCFM, ACFM and CFM should be defined and used. However, I'm not quite the expert on how applications and sales misuse these terms. I think all discussions of these definitions need to include the continuity equation.

Where is the discussion of "flow"?

At this moment SCFM has a good start and ACFM is out the window.

I would propose the following outline,

  • Fundamentals
    • flow
    • volume flow vs weight flow
    • inlet conditions
  • Weight Flow
  • CFM, ACFM
  • SCFM

[edit] The discussion of centrifugal fans and the AMCA should be another article

The two sections discussing fans and the ACMA should be deleted and moved to another, new article. This article is about gas flow expressions (SCFM, ACFM, etc.) ... it is not about fans. Unless someone presents a good reason for not doing so, I will delete those sections within a few days. - mbeychok 23:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
