Cubic inches per minute to Cubic inches per second conversion

How to convert cubic inches per minute to cubic inches per second?

To convert cubic inches per minute (in³/min) to cubic inches per second (in³/s), you need to understand the relationship between minutes and seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore, to convert cubic inches per minute to cubic inches per second, you divide by 60.

Here's the formula for the conversion:

$1 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} \div 60 = 0.01667 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

So, $1 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} = 0.01667 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

Real-World Examples:

1. Hydraulic Systems: Suppose a hydraulic pump delivers 120 cubic inches per minute (in³/min). To find out how much it delivers per second:

   $120 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} \div 60 = 2 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

   The pump delivers 2 cubic inches per second.

2. Water Flow in Pipes: Imagine water flowing through a small pipe at a rate of 30 cubic inches per minute. To determine the flow per second:

   $30 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} \div 60 = 0.5 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

   The water flows at a rate of 0.5 cubic inches per second.

3. Fuel Injection in Engines: If a fuel injector is designed to inject 180 cubic inches of fuel per minute, converting this rate to per second will show:

   $180 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} \div 60 = 3 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

   The injector injects fuel at a rate of 3 cubic inches per second.

4. Air Compressor: An air compressor might compress air to 90 cubic inches per minute. To convert this to cubic inches per second:

   $90 \, \text{in}^3/\text{min} \div 60 = 1.5 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

   The compressor delivers compressed air at a rate of 1.5 cubic inches per second.

These conversions can be useful in various practical scenarios where dealing with smaller or more dynamic time intervals is necessary.
