Cubic inches per hour to Centilitres per second conversion

How to convert cubic inches per hour to centilitres per second?

To convert from cubic inches per hour (in³/h) to centiliters per second (cl/s), we need to use conversion factors to change the units.

Here's the step-by-step conversion:

1. Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters: 1 cubic inch is equal to 16.387064 cubic centimeters.

2. Convert cubic centimeters to liters: 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters.

3. Convert liters to centiliters: 1 liter is equal to 100 centiliters.

4. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.

We can combine these unit conversions into a single equation:

$1 \text{ in}^3/\text{hr} \times \frac{16.387064 \text{ cm}^3}{1 \text{ in}^3} \times \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1000 \text{ cm}^3} \times \frac{100 \text{ cl}}{1 \text{ L}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hr}}{3600 \text{ s}}$

Now let's perform the calculations step by step:

1. Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters: $1 \times 16.387064 = 16.387064$ cm³/h
2. Convert cubic centimeters to liters: $16.387064 \times \frac{1}{1000} = 0.016387064$ L/h
3. Convert liters to centiliters: $0.016387064 \times 100 = 1.6387064$ cl/h
4. Convert hours to seconds: $\frac{1.6387064}{3600} = 0.00045519$ cl/s

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately 0.00045519 centiliters per second.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Inches per Hour

1. Automotive Fuel Flow:

   • A car engine might consume 360 cubic inches per hour at idle (dependent on fuel economy).
   • Conversion: $360 \times 0.00045519 = 0.1638684$ cl/s

2. Water Flow for Appliances:

   • A home water softener might have a recharge water flow rate of 1000 cubic inches per hour.
   • Conversion: $1000 \times 0.00045519 = 0.45519$ cl/s

3. Industrial Piping:

   • An industrial pump might transfer coolant at a rate of 5000 cubic inches per hour.
   • Conversion: $5000 \times 0.00045519 = 2.27595$ cl/s

These conversions and examples should provide some useful context for understanding how cubic inches per hour can be translated into more commonly used units such as centiliters per second.
