  1. I know only molecular formula and molecular weight of compound, is possible to calculate vapor density? If any one have solution, please put here

  2. hello paul. I have a question here. if I have the ACH value of the room, then I can get the CFM from it right? Then from CFM I can get mass flow rate (m dot) from CFM by multiplying it with the density of air, right? then I can get the cooling load for a room by multiplying m dot with delta h (enthalpy) right?

    thank you in advance!

  3. Hi,

    How to calculate a container having 500kg of liquidated argon gas into cylinder bottle having a temp of 20 to 30 degree cellius.
