I'm looking at a specific two-stroke application and have computed CFM requirements for the air filter to confirm adequate flow. I have several questions, as I would like to confirm my numbers.
Application: chainsaw
Engine: 121.6 cc
Bore: 60 mm x 43 mm
BHP: 8.7 bhp at 8,500 rpm
Max RPM: 11,000
Computed Ve: 0.5841435966524767
I come up with around 28 CFM, but this site comes up with 15.67 CFM
https://strikeengine.com/air-filter-size-calculator-for-power-bhp/
I have 47.2368985 CFM at 11,000 RPM as the maximum possible airflow with the above information.
What am I missing?
