Another approach is to blow air through a room that contains a suitably
large heater with known output. Calculate CFM from the temperature rise
and the thermal mass of a cubic foot of air. Effects of the energy
released by the blower itself and thermal leakage through the walls of
the room should hopefully be minimal.
Clever - I like it. Bob
I dunno... calorimetry under the BEST of (adiabatic) circumstances is
dicey.
This is like freestyle mountian climbing.... vs. an elevator.
