flow rate of compressed air....
« on: September 14, 2014, 10:32:45 PM »
This is a puzzle question to try to come up with a way to make a measurement for something unknown:
So how would you go about solving:
What is the flow rate (in mL/min) of compressed air in a fume hood into water?

Hint: How's flow related to pressure. Or velocity.

Pressure and flowrate are inversely proportional--as pressure increases, conpressor flow rate decreases.
