initial flow rate

Hi all,

Need help guys, I'm calculating the need for blower's power, but I rather confused with the flow rate at the initial condition (start-up)

The scheme is blower take the air from outside (free air, Pin= 100kPa, Pout=150kPa), and then discharge it to outlet pipe (8") which is connected to reactor.


In normal operation the flow rate needed is 0.5m3/s and the temperature at reactor is 850~1000oC. In the initial condition we can say that the temperature is room temperature.

how to calculate flow rate when start up process is running?
