Cubic feet per second to Kilolitres per hour conversion

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

Certainly! To convert cubic feet per second (ft³/s) to kilolitres per hour (kL/h), you can use the following process:

1. Understand the conversion factors:

   • 1 cubic foot (ft³) = 0.0283168 cubic meters (m³).
   • 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1 kilolitre (kL).

2. Convert from cubic feet per second to cubic meters per second:

   • Multiply by 0.0283168.

3. Convert from cubic meters per second to kilolitres per hour:

   • Multiply by 3600 (since 1 hour = 3600 seconds).

Thus, the full conversion factor from ft³/s to kL/h is: $\text{kL/h} = \text{ft³/s} \times 0.0283168 \times 3600$

Let's calculate 1 ft³/s to kL/h: $1 \text{ ft³/s} = 1 \times 0.0283168 \times 3600$ $1 \text{ ft³/s} = 101.44 \text{ kL/h}$

So, 1 cubic foot per second is equal to 101.44 kilolitres per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities:

1. 0.5 Cubic Feet per Second: $0.5 \text{ ft³/s} = 0.5 \times 101.44 \text{ kL/h}$ $0.5 \text{ ft³/s} = 50.72 \text{ kL/h}$ Example: This could be a typical flow rate for a small urban stream or a large irrigation canal.

2. 2 Cubic Feet per Second: $2 \text{ ft³/s} \times 101.44 \text{ kL/h} = 202.88 \text{ kL/h}$ Example: Such a flow rate might be seen in a medium-sized river or in a pipe transporting industrial wastewater.

3. 10 Cubic Feet per Second: $10 \text{ ft³/s} \times 101.44 \text{ kL/h} = 1014.4 \text{ kL/h}$ Example: This could be the flow rate through a large aqueduct or major water supply pipeline for a city.

4. 50 Cubic Feet per Second: $50 \text{ ft³/s} \times 101.44 \text{ kL/h} = 5072 \text{ kL/h}$ Example: This may represent the output of a large hydroelectric dam's spillway during flood control operations.

5. 100 Cubic Feet per Second: $100 \text{ ft³/s} \times 101.44 \text{ kL/h} = 10144 \text{ kL/h}$ Example: This kind of flow rate might be associated with a significant river, especially at times of high water flow or spring runoff.

These conversions provide valuable context for understanding flow rates from small streams to large-scale water management systems.
