Cubic Centimeters per second to Kilolitres per minute conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to kilolitres per minute?

To convert from cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) to kiloliters per minute (kL/min), you'll need to understand the relationship between these units.

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert cubic centimeters to liters:

   • 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) = 0.001 liters (L).

2. Convert liters per second to liters per minute:

   • 1 liter per second (L/s) = 60 liters per minute (L/min).

3. Convert liters to kiloliters:

   • 1 kiloliter (kL) = 1,000 liters (L).

Applying the conversion to 1 cm³/s:

1. Convert cm³/s to L/s:

   • 1 cm³/s = 0.001 L/s.

2. Convert L/s to L/min:

   • $0.001 \, \text{L/s} \times 60 \, \text{s/min} = 0.06 \, \text{L/min}$.

3. Convert L/min to kL/min:

   • $0.06 \, \text{L/min} \div 1,000 = 0.00006 \, \text{kL/min}$.

So, 1 cubic centimeter per second is equal to $0.00006 \, \text{kL/min}$.

Real World Examples:

1. Household Water Flow:

   • Let's say a typical kitchen tap outputs water at approximately 10 L/min.
   • Converting this to cm³/s: $10 \, \text{L/min} \times 1,000 \, \text{cm³/L} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 166.67 \, \text{cm³/s}$.

2. Medical IV Drip:

   • An intravenous (IV) drip might deliver fluids at a rate of 15 cm³/min.
   • Converting this to cm³/s: $15 \, \text{cm³/min} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 0.25 \, \text{cm³/s}$.

3. Car Engine Fuel Injection:

   • A fuel injector may deliver fuel at a rate of 20 cm³/second.
   • Converting this to kL/min: $20 \, \text{cm³/s} = 0.02 \, \text{L/s}$,
   • In kL/min: $0.02 \, \text{L/s} \times 60 \, \text{s/min} \div 1,000 = 0.0012 \, \text{kL/min}$.

These conversions illustrate various applications of cubic centimeters per second in different fields, providing practical context to the unit.
