Cubic inches per second to Litres per second conversion

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

To convert cubic inches per second to liters per second, you'll need to know the conversion factor between cubic inches and liters. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Conversion Factor:

   • 1 cubic inch (in³) = 0.016387064 liters (L)

2. Conversion Process:

   • To convert from cubic inches per second (in³/s) to liters per second (L/s), you multiply the number of cubic inches per second by the conversion factor.

   Given: $1 \text{ in}³/\text{s}$

   Using the conversion factor: $1 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.016387064 \text{ L/in}³ = 0.016387064 \text{ L/s}$

   Therefore, $1 \text{ in}³/\text{s} = 0.016387064 \text{ L/s}$

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Inches per Second

Let's take a few more quantities and convert them to liters per second for better understanding:

1. Example 1: 10 in³/s $10 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.016387064 \text{ L/in}³ = 0.16387064 \text{ L/s}$

2. Example 2: 50 in³/s $50 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.016387064 \text{ L/in}³ = 0.8193532 \text{ L/s}$

3. Example 3: 100 in³/s $100 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.016387064 \text{ L/in}³ = 1.6387064 \text{ L/s}$

Real-World Context

• Small Engine Displacement: Consider a small engine with a displacement volume that might expel exhaust gases at about 10 in³/s. This would correspond to approximately $0.16387064 \text{ L/s}$.

• Garden Hose Flow: A garden hose might have a flow rate of around 50 in³/s, translating to roughly $0.8193532 \text{ L/s}$.

• Water Faucet Flow: A moderately fast-flowing water faucet could have a flow rate of around 100 in³/s, which converts to about $1.6387064 \text{ L/s}$.

Understanding these conversions helps in making sense of flow rates in different applications, from small engines to everyday utilities like garden hoses and faucets.
