Cubic feet per minute to Kilolitres per second conversion

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

To convert cubic feet per minute (CFM) to kiloliters per second (kL/s), we need to understand the relationship between these units.

1 cubic foot = 0.0283168 cubic meters (m³) 1 cubic meter = 0.001 kiloliters (kL) 1 minute = 60 seconds

So, the conversion factor from cubic feet per minute to kiloliters per second is given by:

$1 \text{ CFM} = 0.0283168 \text{ m³/minute}$ $0.0283168 \text{ m³/minute} = \frac{0.0283168}{60} \text{ m³/second}$ $\frac{0.0283168 \text{ m³}}{60 \text{ seconds}} \times 0.001 \text{ kL/m³} = \frac{0.0283168 \times 0.001}{60} \text{ kL/second}$ $1 \text{ CFM} = 4.71947 \times 10^{-7} \text{ kL/second}$

Therefore, 1 cubic foot per minute is approximately 4.71947 × 10^-7 kiloliters per second.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of CFM:

Example 1: Household Ventilation

A typical bathroom exhaust fan might have a rating of:

• 50 CFM
• Using the conversion factor: $50 \text{ CFM} \times 4.71947 \times 10^{-7} \text{ kL/second} \approx 2.359735 \times 10^{-5} \text{ kL/second}$

Example 2: Industrial HVAC System

An industrial HVAC system may operate at:

• 10,000 CFM
• Using the conversion factor: $10,000 \text{ CFM} \times 4.71947 \times 10^{-7} \text{ kL/second} \approx 0.00471947 \text{ kL/second}$

Example 3: Large Venue Air Circulation

A large concert venue might have air circulation systems rated at:

• 100,000 CFM
• Using the conversion factor: $100,000 \text{ CFM} \times 4.71947 \times 10^{-7} \text{ kL/second} \approx 0.0471947 \text{ kL/second}$

By using these examples, you can see how different quantities of cubic feet per minute are converted and applied in various real-world situations.
