To determine the equivalent SCFH of helium for a given SCFH of air, you need to consider the difference in densities between air and helium. Helium is about 7-8 times lighter than air, so to find the equivalent SCFH of helium, you would multiply the SCFH of air by 7-8, depending on the specific conditions.
SCFH stands for Standard Cubic Feet per Hour, and it is a common unit of measurement for the flow rate of gases, such as air. It represents the volume of air (or gas) that flows through a system in one hour under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.
A helium balloon goes up because helium is lighter than the surrounding air, creating a buoyant force that lifts the balloon. This is due to the lower density of helium gas compared to the denser air around it, causing the balloon to float upwards.
10 mL of helium at standard conditions (STP) would weigh approximately 0.0125 grams.
Helium, hydrogen, and air are in the gaseous state of matter at room temperature and pressure.
Helium has a lower density than air.
