Cubic inches per hour to Millilitres per second conversion

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

To convert cubic inches per hour (in³/hr) to milliliters per second (mL/s), you need to understand the relationship between these units. Here's the step-by-step conversion process:

1. Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters (cc or cm³): 1 cubic inch is equal to approximately 16.387 cubic centimeters (cm³).

2. Convert cubic centimeters to milliliters: 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) is equal to 1 milliliter (mL).

3. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour equals 3600 seconds.

So, combining these conversion factors: $\text{1 in³/hr} = \frac{16.387 \text{ cm³}}{1 \text{ hr}}$

To convert to per second: $\text{1 in³/hr} = \frac{16.387 \text{ mL}}{3600 \text{ s}}$

Now, calculate the final result: $\text{1 in³/hr} = \frac{16.387 \text{ mL}}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 0.004552 \text{ mL/s}$

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately 0.004552 milliliters per second.

Real World Examples of Cubic Inches per Hour

1. Pumping Systems: An aquarium pump might be rated at about 60 cubic inches per hour.

   • To convert: $60 \text{ in³/hr} \approx 60 \times 0.004552 = 0.2731 \text{ mL/s}$

2. Oil Drip Systems: Certain lubrication systems in machinery might release around 10 cubic inches per hour.

   • To convert: $10 \text{ in³/hr} \approx 10 \times 0.004552 = 0.04552 \text{ mL/s}$

3. Medicine Drip Rates: In a slow medicine drip setup, you may administer around 5 cubic inches per hour.

   • To convert: $5 \text{ in³/hr} \approx 5 \times 0.004552 = 0.02276 \text{ mL/s}$

4. Water Softeners: A residential water softener might regenerate at a rate of 100 cubic inches per hour.

   • To convert: $100 \text{ in³/hr} \approx 100 \times 0.004552 = 0.4552 \text{ mL/s}$

These examples demonstrate how understanding the conversion between cubic inches per hour and milliliters per second can help in various practical and industrial applications.
