Centilitres per second to Fluid Ounces per hour conversion

How to convert centilitres per second to fluid ounces per hour?

To convert from centilitres per second (cl/s) to fluid ounces per hour (fl oz/h), we need to understand the conversion factors between these units.

1 centilitre (cl) is equivalent to 0.33814022558919 US fluid ounces (fl oz).

First, let's handle the conversion for 1 centilitre per second:

1. Convert centilitres to fluid ounces: $1 \, \text{cl} = 0.33814022558919 \, \text{fl oz}$

2. Convert the flow rate from seconds to hours: Since there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, $1 \, \text{cl/s} = 0.33814022558919 \, \text{fl oz/s} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h}$

3. Perform the multiplication: $0.33814022558919 \times 3600 = 1217.304812120084 \, \text{fl oz/h}$

Thus, 1 centilitre per second is equivalent to approximately 1217.3 fluid ounces per hour.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Water Flow Rate in a Laboratory Setting

• Suppose you are working in a laboratory where you have an experimental setup that dispenses a flow rate of 0.5 centilitres per second of a chemical solution.

  • Conversion:
    • First, convert 0.5 cl/s to fl oz/s. $0.5 \, \text{cl/s} \times 0.33814022558919 \, \text{fl oz/cl} = 0.169070112794595 \, \text{fl oz/s}$
    • Then convert this to fl oz/h. $0.169070112794595 \, \text{fl oz/s} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h} = 608.65240606 \, \text{fl oz/h}$

• So, 0.5 cl/s is approximately equivalent to 608.65 fl oz/h.

Example 2: Fuel Flow Rate for an Engine

• Assume you have an engine that has a fuel flow rate of 2 cl/s.

  • Conversion:
    • First, convert 2 cl/s to fl oz/s. $2 \, \text{cl/s} \times 0.33814022558919 \, \text{fl oz/cl} = 0.67628045117838 \, \text{fl oz/s}$
    • Then convert this to fl oz/h. $0.67628045117838 \, \text{fl oz/s} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h} = 2434.60962424 \, \text{fl oz/h}$

• Thus, 2 cl/s is approximately equivalent to 2434.61 fl oz/h.

Example 3: Garden Hose

• Let's say a garden hose releases water at a rate of 3 cl/s.

  • Conversion:
    • First, convert 3 cl/s to fl oz/s. $3 \, \text{cl/s} \times 0.33814022558919 \, \text{fl oz/cl} = 1.01442067676757 \, \text{fl oz/s}$
    • Then convert this to fl oz/h. $1.01442067676757 \, \text{fl oz/s} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h} = 3651.91443676 \, \text{fl oz/h}$

• So, 3 cl/s is approximately equivalent to 3651.91 fl oz/h.

These examples should give you a good sense of how to perform these conversions for various real-world quantities.
