Cubic inches per second to Centilitres per second conversion

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

To convert from cubic inches per second (in³/s) to centilitres per second (cl/s), we need to consider the relationship between these units.

1 cubic inch = 16.387064 cubic centimeters (cc or cm³).

Since 1 centilitre (cl) = 10 cubic centimeters (cm³), we can write:

1 in³ = 16.387064 cm³ = 1.6387064 cl

To find the number of centilitres per second (cl/s) equivalent to a given number of cubic inches per second (in³/s), we multiply the flow rate in in³/s by the conversion factor 1.6387064.

For 1 in³/s, the conversion would be:

$1 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 \text{ cl/in³} = 1.6387064 \text{ cl/s}$

So, 1 in³/s is approximately 1.6387 cl/s.

Real-World Examples for Different Quantities of Cubic Inches per Second:

1. Water flow rate of a small garden hose:

• Typically, a small garden hose might have a flow rate of around 10 cubic inches per second.
• Converting this to cl/s: $10 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 = 16.387064 \text{ cl/s}$

2. Ink rate in large printing presses:

• A large industrial printing press might use ink at a rate of around 0.5 cubic inches per second.
• Converting this to cl/s: $0.5 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 = 0.8193532 \text{ cl/s}$

3. Flow rate of a water faucet:

• A standard water faucet can have a flow rate of about 50 cubic inches per second.
• Converting this to cl/s: $50 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 = 81.93532 \text{ cl/s}$

4. Flow rate of a car radiator's cooling system:

• A car’s cooling system might circulate coolant at a rate of around 2 cubic inches per second.
• Converting this to cl/s: $2 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 = 3.2774128 \text{ cl/s}$

5. Flow rate of an aquarium filter:

• An aquarium filter might pump water at a rate of around 5 cubic inches per second.
• Converting this to cl/s: $5 \text{ in³/s} × 1.6387064 = 8.193532 \text{ cl/s}$

These real-world examples help illustrate various scenarios where knowing the conversion can be beneficial, particularly in engineering, scientific applications, and everyday situations involving fluid dynamics.
