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

To convert cubic meters per hour to cubic inches per second, you can follow these steps:

  1. Convert cubic meters to cubic inches:

    • 1 cubic meter (m³) is equal to 1,000,0001,000,000 cubic centimeters (cm³), and 1 cubic inch (in³) is equal to 16.387064 cubic centimeters (cm³).
    • Therefore, 1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000,000/16.38706461,023.74411,000,000 \,/\, 16.387064 \approx 61,023.7441 cubic inches.
  2. Convert hours to seconds:

    • There are 3,600 seconds in an hour.
  3. Combine the two conversion factors:

    • First, calculate cubic meters per hour into cubic inches per hour. 1 m³/h×61,023.7441 in³/=61,023.7441 in³/h1 \text{ m³/h} \times 61,023.7441 \text{ in³} / \text{m³} = 61,023.7441 \text{ in³/h}.
    • Then, convert cubic inches per hour to cubic inches per second: 61,023.7441 in³/h3,600 s/h16.95104 in³/s\frac{61,023.7441 \text{ in³/h}}{3,600 \text{ s/h}} \approx 16.95104 \text{ in³/s}.

So, 1 cubic meter per hour is approximately 16.95104 cubic inches per second.

Real-world Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Meters per Hour

  1. Water Flow in Residential Plumbing:

    • A standard showerhead has a flow rate around 9.5 liters per minute.
    • Converting this to cubic meters per hour: 9.5 L/min×60 min/hour/1,0000.57 m³/h9.5 \text{ L/min} \times 60 \text{ min/hour} / 1,000 \approx 0.57 \text{ m³/h}.
  2. HVAC Systems:

    • A small air handling unit for household ventilation might handle around 500 cubic meters per hour.
    • Converting to cubic inches per second: 500 m³/h×16.95104 in³/s8,475.52 in³/s500 \text{ m³/h} \times 16.95104 \text{ in³/s} \approx 8,475.52 \text{ in³/s}.
  3. Industrial Pump:

    • An industrial water pump might have a flow rate of 10,000 cubic meters per hour.
    • Converting to cubic inches per second: 10,000 m³/h×16.95104 in³/s169,510.4 in³/s10,000 \text{ m³/h} \times 16.95104 \text{ in³/s} \approx 169,510.4 \text{ in³/s}.
  4. Fire Hose:

    • A fire hose can discharge water at around 4,200 liters per minute.
    • Converting to cubic meters per hour: 4,200 L/min×60/1,000252 m³/h4,200 \text{ L/min} \times 60 / 1,000 \approx 252 \text{ m³/h}.
    • Converting to cubic inches per second: 252 m³/h×16.95104 in³/s4,270.86 in³/s252 \text{ m³/h} \times 16.95104 \text{ in³/s} \approx 4,270.86 \text{ in³/s}.

Using these real-world examples can help contextualize different volume flow rates in both cubic meters per hour and cubic inches per second, providing a better understanding of the magnitudes involved.

What is Cubic meters per hour?

Cubic meters per hour measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in hours and QQ's unit of measure is ft^3/h.

Q=Vt=AdtQ = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

QQ - Flow rate
VV - Volume (Cubic meters)
tt - Time in hour AA - Cross-sectional area
dd - Distance the fluid traveled during the time tt

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is cubic inches per second?

A very specific and technical term!

Cubic inches per second (in³/s) is a unit of measurement for volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of fluid (such as air, water, or gas) that flows through a given area in one second.

In other words, if you know the flow rate in cubic inches per second, you can calculate the volume of fluid that passes through a particular point or pipe in one second.

To put this into perspective, here are some examples of volumetric flow rates and their equivalent values:

  • A typical household faucet flows at around 2-4 gallons per minute (gpm). This translates to approximately 0.02-0.04 cubic feet per second (ft³/s) or 1.3-2.6 cubic inches per second (in³/s).
  • The exhaust flow rate of a car engine is often measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm), which can be converted to cubic inches per second.
  • In industrial applications, such as air handling systems, flow rates are often specified in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) or liters per minute (L/min), which can also be expressed as cubic inches per second.

Keep in mind that the choice of unit depends on the specific application and industry, but cubic inches per second is a useful measure for many fluid dynamics calculations.
