Here's why:
* MBH is a measure of heat energy. It tells you how much heat is being produced or consumed per hour.
* CFH is a measure of volume flow rate. It tells you how many cubic feet of a substance are flowing per hour.
To convert MBH to CFH, you need additional information about the specific substance being measured.
Here's what you need:
1. The specific heat capacity of the substance. This tells you how much energy is required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of the substance by one degree.
2. The density of the substance. This tells you how much mass is contained in one unit of volume.
3. The temperature difference. You need to know the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the system.
Once you have these values, you can use the following formula to calculate CFH:
```
CFH = (MBH / (Specific Heat Capacity * Density * Temperature Difference)) * 3.785
```
Example:
Let's say you want to convert 100 MBH of natural gas to CFH.
* Natural gas has a specific heat capacity of approximately 0.5 Btu/lb°F.
* Natural gas has a density of approximately 0.045 lb/ft³.
* Assume a temperature difference of 50°F.
Plugging these values into the formula:
```
CFH = (100 MBH / (0.5 Btu/lb°F * 0.045 lb/ft³ * 50°F)) * 3.785
CFH = 168,667 CFH
```
Therefore, 100 MBH of natural gas is equivalent to 168,667 CFH.
Important Note: This conversion is specific to the given substance, temperature difference, and other factors. You will need to adjust the formula and values accordingly for different substances and conditions.
