Cubic feet per minute to Millilitres per second conversion

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

Sure, converting Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) to Milliliters per Second (ml/s) involves a few steps. Let's break it down:

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert Cubic Feet to Cubic Inches: 1 cubic foot = 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches = 1,728 cubic inches

2. Convert Cubic Inches to Milliliters: 1 cubic inch = 16.387064 milliliters

3. Combine the conversions to find out how many milliliters are in a cubic foot: 1,728 cubic inches x 16.387064 milliliters/cubic inch = 28,316.846592 milliliters

4. Convert minutes to seconds: 1 minute = 60 seconds

5. Final conversion from CFM to ml/s: So, to convert 1 CFM to ml/s: $\frac{28,316.846592 \text{ milliliters}}{60 \text{ seconds}} \approx 471.947 milliliters/second$

Therefore, 1 Cubic Feet per Minute is approximately equal to 471.947 Milliliters per Second.

Examples for Other Quantities:

1. 5 CFM: $5 \text{ CFM} = 5 \times 471.947 \text{ ml/s} \approx 2,359.735 \text{ ml/s}$

2. 10 CFM: $10 \text{ CFM} = 10 \times 471.947 \text{ ml/s} \approx 4,719.47 \text{ ml/s}$

3. 50 CFM: $50 \text{ CFM} = 50 \times 471.947 \text{ ml/s} \approx 23,597.35 \text{ ml/s}$

4. 100 CFM: $100 \text{ CFM} = 100 \times 471.947 \text{ ml/s} \approx 47,194.7 \text{ ml/s}$

Real World Examples:

1. Residential HVAC system:

   • A typical home HVAC system might have an airflow rate of around 400-800 CFM.
     • 400 CFM: $400 \times 471.947 \approx 188,778.8 \text{ ml/s}$
     • 800 CFM: $800 \times 471.947 \approx 377,557.6 \text{ ml/s}$

2. Computer Cooling Fan:

   • A high-performance computer cooling fan may have a flow rate of around 50-100 CFM.
     • 50 CFM: $50 \times 471.947 \approx 23,597.35 \text{ ml/s}$
     • 100 CFM: $100 \times 471.947 \approx 47,194.7 \text{ ml/s}$

3. Industrial Blower:

   • An industrial blower can have much higher flow rates, for example, 1,000-2,000 CFM.
     • 1,000 CFM: $1,000 \times 471.947 \approx 471,947 \text{ ml/s}$
     • 2,000 CFM: $2,000 \times 471.947 \approx 943,894 \text{ ml/s}$

These examples help illustrate the wide range of applications and flow rates that can be encountered in various settings.
