British Thermal Units (BTU) to Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) Conversion
To convert British Thermal Units (BTU) to Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), you can use the following formula:
Conversion Formula
The formula becomes:
CFM = (BTU ร 60) รท (ฮT ร 1.08)Where:
- CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute
- BTU = British Thermal Units
- ฮT = Temperature difference in degrees Fahrenheit
British Thermal Units (BTU)
BTU is a unit of heat energy:
- Scientific Definition: The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
- Common Usage: Used in heating and cooling systems, such as HVAC units and refrigerators.
Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM)
CFM is a measure of airflow:
- Scientific Definition: The volume of air that flows in one minute, measured in cubic feet.
- Common Applications: Used in HVAC systems to specify airflow rates for heating and cooling.
