Cubic meters per hour to Cubic feet per second conversion

How to convert cubic meters per hour to cubic feet per second?

To convert cubic meters per hour (m³/h) to cubic feet per second (ft³/s), you'll need to know the exact conversion factors:

1 cubic meter (m³) = 35.3147 cubic feet (ft³) 1 hour (h) = 3600 seconds (s)

So, to convert 1 cubic meter per hour to cubic feet per second:

1. Convert cubic meters to cubic feet: 1 m³/h = 1 m³/h * 35.3147 ft³/m³ = 35.3147 ft³/h

2. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 3600 seconds

3. Divide the volume in cubic feet by the number of seconds in an hour: 35.3147 ft³/h ÷ 3600 s/h = 0.00981 ft³/s

So, 1 cubic meter per hour (m³/h) is approximately equal to 0.00981 cubic feet per second (ft³/s).

Real World Examples

10 Cubic Meters per Hour

To convert 10 m³/h to ft³/s:

1. 10 m³/h = 10 * 35.3147 ft³/h = 353.147 ft³/h
2. 353.147 ft³/h ÷ 3600 s/h = 0.0981 ft³/s

100 Cubic Meters per Hour

To convert 100 m³/h to ft³/s:

1. 100 m³/h = 100 * 35.3147 ft³/h = 3531.47 ft³/h
2. 3531.47 ft³/h ÷ 3600 s/h = 0.981 ft³/s

Application Examples

1. Domestic Water Supply: A typical residential home's water supply might require around 1 m³/h, which is equivalent to 0.00981 ft³/s.
2. Industrial Cooling Systems: Certain industrial cooling systems might require 100 m³/h, which is equivalent to 0.981 ft³/s to keep machinery from overheating.
3. Municipal Water Treatment: Large municipal water treatment plants might process 10,000 m³/h. In ft³/s, this would be: 10,000 m³/h * 35.3147 ft³/m³ = 353,147 ft³/h 353,147 ft³/h ÷ 3600 s/h ≈ 98.1 ft³/s

These conversions can help in understanding different systems' capacities and requirements.
