Cubic meters per hour to Gallons per second conversion

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

To convert cubic meters per hour (m³/h) to gallons per second (g/s), you need to know the conversion factors between these units.

1 cubic meter is equivalent to 264.172 gallons. 1 hour is equivalent to 3600 seconds.

So, the conversion factors are: 1 m³ = 264.172 gal 1 hour = 3600 s

To convert cubic meters per hour to gallons per second, you can use the following formula:

$\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{\text{m³/h} \times \text{264.172 gal}}{\text{3600 s}} \right)$

For 1 m³/h: $\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{1 \times 264.172}{3600} \right)$ $\text{g/s} = 0.07338$

So, 1 cubic meter per hour is approximately 0.07338 gallons per second.

Real-World Examples

1. Household Water Usage:

   • An average household water usage might be around 0.1 m³/h.
     • Converting this: $\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{0.1 \times 264.172}{3600} \right) = 0.007338$
     • So, 0.1 m³/h is approximately 0.007338 gallons per second.

2. Small Aquarium Pump:

   • A small aquarium pump might have a flow rate of 0.5 m³/h.
     • Converting this: $\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{0.5 \times 264.172}{3600} \right) = 0.03669$
     • So, 0.5 m³/h is approximately 0.03669 gallons per second.

3. Industrial Water Treatment:

   • An industrial water treatment facility might process 100 m³/h.
     • Converting this: $\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{100 \times 264.172}{3600} \right) = 7.338$
     • So, 100 m³/h is approximately 7.338 gallons per second.

4. Fire Hydrant Flow Rate:

   • A fire hydrant might have a flow rate of about 10 m³/h.
     • Converting this: $\text{g/s} = \left( \frac{10 \times 264.172}{3600} \right) = 0.7338$
     • So, 10 m³/h is approximately 0.7338 gallons per second.

These examples illustrate the flow rate in gallons per second for various quantities of cubic meters per hour, showing how the conversion can be applied to different real-world scenarios.
