Cubic feet per hour to Fluid Ounces per hour conversion

How to convert cubic feet per hour to fluid ounces per hour?

To convert from cubic feet per hour (ft³/hr) to fluid ounces per hour (fl oz/hr), you need to know the following:

1 cubic foot is equivalent to 7.48052 U.S. gallons. 1 U.S. gallon is equivalent to 128 U.S. fluid ounces.

With these conversions, you can set up the conversion factor as follows:

1 cubic foot/hour (ft³/hr) * 7.48052 gallons/ft³ * 128 fluid ounces/gallon.

Here is the calculation:

$1 \text{ ft}^3/\text{hr} \times 7.48052 \text{ gallons/ft}^3 \times 128 \text{ fluid ounces/gallon} = 957.02 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

So, 1 cubic foot per hour is approximately 957.02 fluid ounces per hour.

Real World Examples

To give a better understanding, let’s convert other quantities of cubic feet per hour to fluid ounces per hour using the same conversion factor:

Example 1: 2 Cubic Feet per Hour

$2 \text{ ft}^3/\text{hr} \times 957.02 \text{ fl oz/hr per ft}^3 = 1914.04 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

Example 2: 0.5 Cubic Feet per Hour

$0.5 \text{ ft}^3/\text{hr} \times 957.02 \text{ fl oz/hr per ft}^3 = 478.51 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

Example 3: 10 Cubic Feet per Hour

$10 \text{ ft}^3/\text{hr} \times 957.02 \text{ fl oz/hr per ft}^3 = 9570.2 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

Practical Applications

• Residential Plumbing Systems: A household water supply might flow at several cubic feet per hour, requiring you to convert those rates to fluid ounces per hour for smaller domestic applications.

• Aquariums: Large public aquariums might use tubing and pumps that move water at a rate measured in cubic feet per hour, and converting this to fluid ounces per hour can help in the precise feeding or medication treatment processes.

• Irrigation Systems: In agricultural settings, knowing the flow rate in both cubic feet per hour and fluid ounces per hour can help ensure proper water delivery to crops.

By understanding these conversions, you can effectively translate larger volume flow rates to more granular measures, which are useful in various practical applications.
