                                               Convert weight flow to inlet CFM







































                    Example:

                    Given:
                     Weight flow (w) = 3600lb/min
                     Pressure (P 1 ) = 100psia
                     Temperature (T 1 ) = 100°F.
                     Molecular weight = 5
