Centilitres per second to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert centilitres per second to litres per hour?

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that conversion.

To convert from centilitres per second (cL/s) to litres per hour (L/h), follow these steps:

1. Understand the relationship between centilitres and litres:

   • 1 litre (L) = 100 centilitres (cL)

2. Convert centilitres per second to centilitres per hour:

   • There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, so:
   • 1 hour = 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

   Therefore, the conversion factor from seconds to hours is 3600.

   $\text{Centilitres per hour} = \text{Centilitres per second} \times \text{Seconds per hour}$

   $\text{Centilitres per hour} = \text{cL/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/h}$

3. Convert centilitres per hour to litres per hour:

   • Since 1 litre = 100 centilitres:
   • We need to divide the centilitres per hour by 100 to get litres per hour.

   $\text{Litres per hour} = \frac{\text{Centilitres per hour}}{100}$

Now, let's apply these steps to convert 1 cL/s to L/h:

1. Convert 1 cL/s to cL/h: $1 \text{ cL/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 3600 \text{ cL/h}$

2. Convert 3600 cL/h to L/h: $\frac{3600 \text{ cL/h}}{100} = 36 \text{ L/h}$

So, 1 cL/s is equivalent to 36 L/h.

Real-World Examples of Converting cL/s to L/h

1. Water Flow from a Faucet:

   • Suppose you have a faucet flowing at 0.5 cL/s. To convert this to L/h: $0.5 \text{ cL/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 1800 \text{ cL/h}$ $\frac{1800 \text{ cL/h}}{100} = 18 \text{ L/h}$ So, the faucet flows at 18 L/h.

2. Fuel Injection Rate in a Car Engine:

   • Imagine a fuel injector delivering fuel at a rate of 2 cL/s. To convert this to L/h: $2 \text{ cL/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 7200 \text{ cL/h}$ $\frac{7200 \text{ cL/h}}{100} = 72 \text{ L/h}$ So, the fuel injector delivers fuel at 72 L/h.

3. Irrigation System:

   • An irrigation system might disperse water at 10 cL/s. To find out the flow rate in L/h: $10 \text{ cL/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = 36000 \text{ cL/h}$ $\frac{36000 \text{ cL/h}}{100} = 360 \text{ L/h}$ So, the irrigation system disperses water at 360 L/h.

By understanding these conversions, you can more accurately measure and manage different fluid flow rates in various applications.
