Cubic inches per hour to Quarts per second conversion

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

Sure, let's break down the conversion from cubic inches per hour to quarts per second, and then we'll look at some real-world examples.

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Understand the basic units:

   • 1 cubic inch (in³) = 16.387064 milliliters (ml)
   • 1 quart (qt) = 946.352946 milliliters (ml)
   • 1 hour (hr) = 3600 seconds (s)

2. Convert cubic inches to milliliters: $1 \text{ in³} \text{ per hour} = 16.387064 \text{ ml} \text{ per hour}$

3. Convert milliliters per hour to milliliters per second: $16.387064 \text{ ml/hour} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds}} = \frac{16.387064}{3600} \text{ ml/sec} = 0.00455252 \text{ ml/sec}$

4. Convert milliliters per second to quarts per second: $0.00455252 \text{ ml/sec} \times \frac{1 \text{ quart}}{946.352946 \text{ ml}} = 0.00455252 \times \frac{1}{946.352946} \text{ qt/sec} = 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} \text{ qt/sec}$

Therefore, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately $4.81057 \times 10^{-6}$ quarts per second.

Real-World Examples

Now let's look at some more cubic inches per hour and their conversion:

1. 10 cubic inches per hour to quarts per second: $10 \text{ in³/hour} \implies 10 \times 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} = 4.81057 \times 10^{-5} \text{ qt/sec}$

2. 100 cubic inches per hour to quarts per second: $100 \text{ in³/hour} \implies 100 \times 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} = 4.81057 \times 10^{-4} \text{ qt/sec}$

3. 1000 cubic inches per hour to quarts per second: $1000 \text{ in³/hour} \implies 1000 \times 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} = 4.81057 \times 10^{-3} \text{ qt/sec}$

Practical Application

1. Garden Watering System:

   • Flow rates for small garden watering systems can be expressed in cubic inches per hour. If your system outputs 300 in³/hour, you can convert this to quarts per second to express it in more familiar terms for quicker calculations.
   • $300 \text{ in³/hour} = 300 \times 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} \text{ qt/sec} = 0.001443171 \text{ qt/sec}$.

2. Fuel Flow Measurement in Small Engines:

   • For small engines or machinery, fuel flow might be measured in cubic inches per hour. Converting it to quarts per second might help in standardizing measurements across different types of engines.
   • Suppose the engine uses 500 in³/hour, which converts to: $500 \text{ in³/hour} = 500 \times 4.81057 \times 10^{-6} \text{ qt/sec} = 0.002405285 \text{ qt/sec}.$
