I don't understand how a 13B can flow 277.77 cu ft/min at 6000rpm, while a 20B flows 275 cu ft. min.(Al's numbers), unless the 275 cu ft figure is for 4000rpm instead of 6000 rpm.  Using Ed's formula, I get 416.67 cu ft/min at 6000rpm, or 31.66 lbs/minute.  Which number is correct?

Mark;

I guess you didn’t read the intervening postings where I admitted I had made a mistake.  Apparently I computed for 2 rotors instead of three.
