Continuity Equation

Post

what is the Continuity Equation about and is this the formula for it where
p= pressure and v = velocity = P1 + V1= P2 + V2

I believe you are thinking of Bernoulli's Equation.

I don't know how to type LaTeX equations in here so here are a couple links:

Hope this helps,

I'm glad I live in a world where mass and energy are conserved while bad feelings can be dissipated by laughing at silly posts.

You were the one who addec the "S", there is nothing in the original post that even implied that he was talking about standard cubic feet. SCF is a reasonable surrogate for mass flow rate and it is conserved.
