Cubic inches per second to Cubic inches per minute conversion

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

To convert cubic inches per second (in³/s) to cubic inches per minute (in³/min), you need to multiply by the number of seconds in a minute, which is 60. This is because there are 60 seconds in one minute.

Let's go through the conversion step-by-step:

1. Start with the volume flow rate in cubic inches per second that you want to convert. In this case, it's 1 in³/s.
2. Multiply by 60 to convert it to cubic inches per minute (since there are 60 seconds in a minute).

$1 \text{ in³/s} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 60 \text{ in³/min}$

So, 1 cubic inch per second is equivalent to 60 cubic inches per minute.

Real-World Examples

1. Water Faucet: A standard kitchen faucet might have a flow rate of around 1-2 gallons per minute (GPM). Since 1 gallon is approximately 231 cubic inches, 1 gallon per minute is equivalent to $231 \text{ in}³/\text{min}$. Converting this into a flow rate in cubic inches per second: $231 \text{ in}³/\text{min} \div 60 \approx 3.85 \text{ in}³/\text{sec}$

2. Fish Tank Filter: A small aquarium filter might circulate water at a rate of 10 GPM. Converting that into cubic inches: $10 \text{ GPM} \times 231 \text{ in³/gallon} = 2310 \text{ in³/min}$ In cubic inches per second, this would be: $2310 \text{ in³/min} \div 60 \approx 38.5 \text{ in³/s}$

3. Automotive Engine: An example for an automotive engine might be an oil pump for a smaller car engine. Let’s say the oil pump circulates oil at a rate of 30 in³/s. Converting this to cubic inches per minute: $30 \text{ in}³/s \times 60 = 1800 \text{ in}³/min$

4. Hydraulic Systems: In hydraulics, a hydraulic pump might have a flow rate of 2 in³/s. $2 \text{ in}³/s \times 60 = 120 \text{ in}³/min$

These examples should give you a good idea of different quantities in cubic inches per second and how to convert them to cubic inches per minute.
