    Default how to calculate CFM if V changed?

    Is there any wat to recalculate de air flow of a fan if i change the voltage?
    lets say i have this fan for example :
    Specifications:
    * Fan Size: 80x80x25 mm
    * Rated Voltage: 12 V
    * Rated Current: 0.20 A
    * Rated Input: 2.40W
    * Power Speed: 2900 RPM
    * Air Flow: 39 CFM
    * Noise: 34 dBA
    * Weight: 62 gm

    I want to plug it to 7V to reduce noise, how do i calculate the CFM?

    Hmm...to be honest, i'd guess.

    My money's on 22.75 being your new airflow. It should be fairly obvious how i worked that out.
