Cubic Centimeters per second to Fluid Ounces per hour conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to fluid ounces per hour?

To convert cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) to fluid ounces per hour (fl oz/hr), you need to use the correct conversion factors between these units.

1. Conversion Factors:

   • 1 cm³ = 0.033814 fluid ounces (fl oz)
   • There are 3600 seconds in an hour

2. Steps to Convert:

   • First, convert cubic centimeters per second to fluid ounces per second.
   • Then, convert fluid ounces per second to fluid ounces per hour.

Let’s go through the calculation step by step:

Step 1: Convert cm³/s to fl oz/s:

$1 \text{ cm}³/\text{s} \times 0.033814 \text{ fl oz/cm}³ = 0.033814 \text{ fl oz/s}$

Step 2: Convert fl oz/s to fl oz/hr:

$0.033814 \text{ fl oz/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 121.7304 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

So, 1 cm³/s is approximately 121.7304 fl oz/hr.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities

1. Drip Coffee Maker: Suppose a drip coffee maker dispenses 2 cm³/s of coffee. To find the rate in fl oz/hr: $2 \text{ cm}³/\text{s} \times 121.7304 \text{ fl oz/cm}³/\text{hr} = 243.4608 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

2. IV Fluid Administration: If an IV drip administers at a rate of 0.5 cm³/s, convert to fl oz/hr: $0.5 \text{ cm}³/\text{s} \times 121.7304 \text{ fl oz/cm}³/\text{hr} = 60.8652 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

3. Garden Hose Flow: If a garden hose has a flow rate of 10 cm³/s: $10 \text{ cm}³/\text{s} \times 121.7304 \text{ fl oz/cm}³/\text{hr} = 1217.304 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

4. Aquarium Filter: An aquarium filter pumps water at a rate of 0.1 cm³/s: $0.1 \text{ cm}³/\text{s} \times 121.7304 \text{ fl oz/cm}³/\text{hr} = 12.17304 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

By using these conversion steps, you can convert any cubic centimeters per second rate into fluid ounces per hour, providing useful insights for various practical applications.
