Cubic meters per minute to Litres per second conversion

How to convert cubic meters per minute to litres per second?

To convert cubic meters per minute (m³/min) to liters per second (L/s), you can use the following conversion factors:

1 cubic meter (m³) = 1000 liters (L) 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (s)

So, to convert from cubic meters per minute to liters per second, you follow these steps:

1. Convert cubic meters to liters: Multiply the volume flow rate in cubic meters per minute by 1000 to convert it to liters per minute.
2. Convert minutes to seconds: Divide the result by 60 to convert the time unit from minutes to seconds.

Let's go through the conversion for 1 cubic meter per minute (1 m³/min):

1. Convert cubic meters to liters: $1 \, m³/min \times 1000 \, \text{L/m³} = 1000 \, \text{L/min}$

2. Convert minutes to seconds: $1000 \, \text{L/min} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 16.\overline{6} \, \text{L/s}$

So, 1 cubic meter per minute (1 m³/min) is equal to approximately 16.67 liters per second (L/s).

Real World Examples

Here are a few real-world examples for various quantities of cubic meters per minute:

1. 4 m³/min to L/s: $4 \, m³/min \times 1000 \, \text{L/m³} = 4000 \, \text{L/min}$ $4000 \, \text{L/min} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 66.\overline{6} \, \text{L/s}$ So, 4 cubic meters per minute equals approximately 66.67 liters per second.

2. 10 m³/min to L/s: $10 \, m³/min \times 1000 \, \text{L/m³} = 10000 \, \text{L/min}$ $10000 \, \text{L/min} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 166.\overline{6} \, \text{L/s}$ So, 10 cubic meters per minute equals approximately 166.67 liters per second.

3. 0.5 m³/min to L/s: $0.5 \, m³/min \times 1000 \, \text{L/m³} = 500 \, \text{L/min}$ $500 \, \text{L/min} \div 60 \, \text{s/min} = 8.\overline{3} \, \text{L/s}$ So, 0.5 cubic meters per minute equals approximately 8.33 liters per second.

These conversions are useful in various engineering and scientific applications, such as calculating the flow rates for pumps, HVAC systems, fluid transport in pipelines, or the discharge rate of rivers and canals.
