Hi--I have an air compressor which puts out 10 cubic feet/minute (CFM) at 90 
psig.  Please, what is the conversion from psig-cfm airflow to horsepower?  
I've done the calculation several times and came up with a different answer 
each time.  Example: I have an air tool which uses 10 cfm at 90 psig--how many 
watts is that?  Detail appreciated.  THANK YOU!!!
