Cubic inches per hour to Fluid Ounces per second conversion

How to convert cubic inches per hour to fluid ounces per second?

To convert cubic inches per hour to fluid ounces per second, you need to follow these steps:

1. Convert cubic inches to fluid ounces:

   • 1 cubic inch is equal to approximately 0.554112 fluid ounces.

2. Convert hours to seconds:

   • 1 hour is 3600 seconds.

So, the unit conversion factor from cubic inches per hour to fluid ounces per second can be derived as follows:

$\frac{1 \text{ cubic inch}}{1 \text{ hour}} \times \frac{0.554112 \text{ fluid ounces}}{1 \text{ cubic inch}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds}} = \frac{0.554112 \text{ fluid ounces}}{3600 \text{ seconds}}$

This simplifies to:

$\frac{0.554112}{3600} \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

$= 0.00015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately 0.00015392 fluid ounces per second.

Real World Examples

Let's apply this conversion to some other quantities for practical perspective:

1. 10 cubic inches per hour: $10 \text{ cubic inches per hour} \times 0.00015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second per cubic inch per hour} = 0.0015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

2. 500 cubic inches per hour: $500 \text{ cubic inches per hour} \times 0.00015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second per cubic inch per hour} = 0.07696 \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

3. 1200 cubic inches per hour: $1200 \text{ cubic inches per hour} \times 0.00015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second per cubic inch per hour} = 0.184704 \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

4. 5000 cubic inches per hour: $5000 \text{ cubic inches per hour} \times 0.00015392 \text{ fluid ounces per second per cubic inch per hour} = 0.7696 \text{ fluid ounces per second}$

Contextual Examples

• Small Leak: A small drip or leak from a faucet that measures around 10 cubic inches per hour would equate to approximately 0.0015392 fluid ounces per second, indicating a minimal but persistent drip.

• Industrial Process: A machine in a manufacturing process that uses or discharges 500 cubic inches per hour would correspond to about 0.07696 fluid ounces per second.

• Fire Suppression System: A medium-sized fire suppression system might release 1200 cubic inches per hour, translating to roughly 0.184704 fluid ounces per second in liquid flow rate for dispersing extinguishing agent.

• Water Pump: A larger water pump with a flow rate of 5000 cubic inches per hour is equivalent to about 0.7696 fluid ounces per second, suitable for various irrigation, drainage, or industrial applications.

This conversion is helpful for understanding how significant or minimal a particular flow rate is when transitioning between different units of volume flow rate.
