Cubic Centimeters per second to Teaspoons per second conversion

How to convert cubic centimeters per second to teaspoons per second?

To convert a flow rate from cubic centimeters per second (cc/s or cm³/s) to teaspoons per second (tsp/s), you need to know the conversion factor between cubic centimeters and teaspoons.

1 cubic centimeter (cc or cm³) is approximately equal to 0.202884 teaspoons (tsp).

Therefore, to convert cubic centimeters per second to teaspoons per second, you can use the following formula:

$\text{Teaspoons per second} = \text{Cubic Centimeters per second} \times 0.202884$

Let's convert 1 cc/s to tsp/s:

$1 \, \text{cc/s} \times 0.202884 \, \text{tsp/cc} = 0.202884 \, \text{tsp/s}$

So, 1 cubic centimeter per second is equal to approximately 0.202884 teaspoons per second.

Real-World Examples:

1. Medical IV Drip:

   • A standard IV drip rate in hospitals might be around 20 drops per minute.
   • 1 drop of water is roughly 0.05 cm³.
   • So 20 drops per minute is $20 \text{ drops} \times 0.05 \text{ cm³/drop} = 1 \text{ cm³/min}$.
   • Converting it to seconds, $\frac{1 \text{ cm³}}{60 \text{ s}} \approx 0.01667 \text{ cm³/s}$.

2. Perfume Atomizer:

   • A typical perfume atomizer might dispense around 0.1 cc per spray.
   • If you spray once every second, the flow rate would be 0.1 cm³/s.

3. Faucet Flow:

   • A low-flow kitchen faucet might dispense at a rate of 1.5 gallons per minute.
   • Converting gallons to cubic centimeters: $1 \text{ gallon} = 3785.41 \text{ cm³}$.
   • Therefore, $1.5 \text{ gallons/minute} \times 3785.41 \text{ cm³/gallon} = 5678.115 \text{ cm³/minute}$.
   • Converting to seconds: $\frac{5678.115 \text{ cm³}}{60 \text{ s}} \approx 94.635 \text{ cm³/s}$.

4. Aquarium Pump:

   • A small aquarium pump might circulate water at a rate of 150 liters per hour.
   • Converting liters to cubic centimeters: $1 \text{ liter} = 1000 \text{ cm³}$.
   • Therefore, $150 \text{ liters/hour} \times 1000 \text{ cm³/liter} = 150,000 \text{ cm³/hour}$.
   • Converting to seconds: $\frac{150,000 \text{ cm³}}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 41.67 \text{ cm³/s}$.

These examples display how different devices and systems might have varying flow rates in cubic centimeters per second, which can be converted to other units as needed.
