Cubic meters per second to Kilolitres per hour conversion

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

To convert cubic meters per second (m³/s) to kilolitres per hour (kL/h), we can follow these steps:

1. Understand the Units:

   • 1 cubic meter (m³) is equivalent to 1 kilolitre (kL).
   • There are 3600 seconds in one hour.

2. Conversion Calculation: 1 m³/s = 1 kL/s

   Since 1 hour is 3600 seconds, we multiply by the number of seconds in an hour: 1 kL/s * 3600 seconds/hour = 3600 kL/hour

Therefore, 1 cubic meter per second is equivalent to 3600 kilolitres per hour.

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

Here are a few examples for illustration:

1. River Flow Rate:

   • If a river has a flow rate of 5 m³/s, it can be converted to kilolitres per hour: $5 \text{ m³/s} \times 3600 \left(\frac{\text{kL}}{\text{h}}\right) = 18,000 \text{ kL/h}$

2. Factory Water Use:

   • If a factory uses 0.25 m³/s of water, the conversion would be: $0.25 \text{ m³/s} \times 3600 \left(\frac{\text{kL}}{\text{h}}\right) = 900 \text{ kL/h}$

3. Large Pump Capacity:

   • If a large water pump moves 2 m³/s, the conversion is: $2 \text{ m³/s} \times 3600 \left(\frac{\text{kL}}{\text{h}}\right) = 7,200 \text{ kL/h}$

4. Urban Water Supply:

   • For a city, if the water supply system delivers 10 m³/s, it converts to: $10 \text{ m³/s} \times 3600 \left(\frac{\text{kL}}{\text{h}}\right) = 36,000 \text{ kL/h}$

By understanding these conversions and real-world examples, we can have a better grasp of the scale and flow rates of different systems and their operations.
