Cubic inches per second to Cubic inches per hour conversion

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

Sure! To convert cubic inches per second (in³/s) to cubic inches per hour (in³/h), you need to account for the number of seconds in one hour. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, so there are:

$60 \text{ seconds/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds/hour}$

Therefore, to convert from in³/s to in³/h, you would multiply the flow rate by 3600:

$1 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} = 3600 \text{ in³/h}$

So, 1 cubic inch per second is equal to 3600 cubic inches per hour.

Now, let’s consider some real-world examples with different quantities of cubic inches per second.

Example 1: Water Flow in a Small Pipe

• Flow Rate: 0.5 in³/s
• Conversion: $0.5 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} = 1800 \text{ in³/h}$
• Description: This could be the flow rate of water running through a small household pipe.

Example 2: Factory Production of Liquid

• Flow Rate: 10 in³/s
• Conversion: $10 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} = 36000 \text{ in³/h}$
• Description: This might represent the flow rate of a liquid being produced by a medium-scale industrial machine.

Example 3: Fire Hose Water Flow

• Flow Rate: 50 in³/s
• Conversion: $50 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} = 180000 \text{ in³/h}$
• Description: This could be the flow rate for a firefighter’s hose during active use in extinguishing a large fire.

These examples help illustrate the calculation and practical utility of converting flow rates from cubic inches per second to cubic inches per hour based on various real-world scenarios.
