Cubic inches per hour to Teaspoons per second conversion

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

To convert cubic inches per hour (in³/hr) to teaspoons per second (tsp/s), you need to understand the relationships between these units of measure:

1. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute, so there are 3600 seconds in an hour.
2. 1 cubic inch is equal to approximately 3.32468 teaspoons.

With these conversions in mind, you can convert cubic inches per hour to teaspoons per second as follows:

1. Start with the rate in cubic inches per hour (in³/hr).
2. Divide this rate by 3600 to convert it to cubic inches per second (in³/s).
3. Multiply by 3.32468 to convert cubic inches per second to teaspoons per second (tsp/s).

Let's apply this to convert 1 cubic inch per hour to teaspoons per second:

$\text{1 in}³/\text{hr} = \frac{1 \text{ in}³}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 0.0002778 \text{ in}³/\text{s}$

Now, convert cubic inches per second to teaspoons per second:

$0.0002778 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 3.32468 \text{ tsp/in}³ \approx 0.000923 \text{ tsp/s}$

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is approximately equal to 0.000923 teaspoons per second.

Real World Examples

Here are some real-world examples for different quantities of cubic inches per hour:

1. 10 Cubic inches per hour (in³/hr):

   • Conversion to tsp/s: $\text{10 in}³/\text{hr} = 0.00923 \text{ tsp/s}$
   • Example: Appreciating the slow drip of a leaky faucet over an extended period might amount to about 10 cubic inches per hour.

2. 250 Cubic inches per hour (in³/hr):

   • Conversion to tsp/s: $\text{250 in}³/\text{hr} = 0.23075 \text{ tsp/s}$
   • Example: This flow rate might be comparable to the rate of liquid being dispensed from a small household humidifier.

3. 1000 Cubic inches per hour (in³/hr):

   • Conversion to tsp/s: $\text{1000 in}³/\text{hr} = 0.923 \text{ tsp/s}$
   • Example: This could be used to describe the flow rate of water in a small garden fountain.

4. 5000 Cubic inches per hour (in³/hr):

   • Conversion to tsp/s: $\text{5000 in}³/\text{hr} = 4.615 \text{ tsp/s}$
   • Example: This could be a sufficient rate for pool water circulation through a filter system in a small residential pool.

These examples can help you visualize different flow rates in terms of cubic inches per hour and their conversions to teaspoons per second.
