Fan Law 3
The formula for Fan Law 3 (built into this calculator) is:
Fan laws use the temporary storage registers a, b, a-new, and b-new.
Fan Law 3 calculates using the entry of the three known variables
and
Ç d to calculate the unknown fourth value.
Example 1:
A fan is running at 15,800 CFM using 6.3 BHP. If the CFM is
increased to 20,000 CFM, what is the new BHP?
